This year the carnival will take to a bigger stage at Central Harbour front with the iconic Hong Kong skyline as a backdrop, and for the first time, a team from Hotel ICON are participating in the festivities. Tuen Ng takes place over three action paced days and will see Hong Kongs’s water lit up with colour against a sound track of beating drums and urgings fans!

The dragon boats are built in the shape of massive war canoes. They vary in size and have crews from 20 to 80 people, which often now include teams of women. The crew paddles according to the thunder of the drummer who sits in the middle of the boat and beats on a drum.
