===Fire Dragon Festival=== {{More citations needed section|date=January 2024}} The villagers have their own festivals: the [[Pok Fu Lam Fire Dragon Dance|annual Fire Dragon Dance]], the oldest of its kind in Hong Kong, is held during the [[Mid-Autumn Festival]], and is organised entirely by the villagers, who strive to preserve the unique festival for the generations to come. Ng Kong-kin, master craftsman of the 73.3 metre long dragon, has been making these creatures for more than four decades, and continues to volunteer his time building the enormous beast every year; his brother Ng Kong-nan, supervises the training of the dancers and preparation for the annual celebrations. All villagers participate in the burning of incense and each household is blessed by the dragons as they dance through the village, making the festival a fundamental part of the village life. Many other less well known festivals include Bou Chun Tin, which commemorates [[Nรผwa]] repairing the Wall of Heaven; Fa San Fuk, a ritual carried out on [[Chinese New Year|Lunar New Year]]'s Eve for good fortune throughout the year; and Jip Nin Gang, when villagers calculate the best time in Chinese ''[[feng shui]]'' to welcome the new year, and prepare celebratory procedures for the particular moment.
