Tai Po.

A railway station built in 1913 now preserves the material memory of Hong Kong’s railway inside the town it once served.

Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, two Tai Po communities hold a night water parade off Sam Mun Tsai. Their boats carry statues of deities as residents pray for safety on land and at sea.

At Sam Mun Tsai, Tai Po’s night dragon boat parade is held offshore. Its setting connects a community ritual to the waters beside the settlement.
