Quote From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Christopher Francis Patten, Baron Patten of Barnes, CH, PC (born 12 May 1944) is a prominent British Conservative politician. Originally a Member of Parliament, he lost his seat at a critical juncture in 1992 (when a Cabinet Minister and close to the Prime Minister of the day). Excluded from Parliament, he accepted the post of last Commander in Chief and British Governor of Hong Kong. After Hong Kong's handover to the People's Republic of China, Patten became the European Commissioner for foreign relations. After leaving that post, he returned to the UK and was raised to the Peerage. He is now the Chancellor of Oxford University, a ceremonial post elected by members of the university's Congregation. He is also the Chancellor of Newcastle University."More photos here :

Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance
Event: Fire Dragon Dance at Tai Hang (大坑舞火龍)
Date: 19 Sept., 2005
Place: Tai Hang, Causeway Bay
Filed Under :
customsQuoted from
Discover Hong kong website:
"Over a century ago, Tai Hang was a village whose inhabitants lived off of farming and fishing. A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival a typhoon and then a plague wreaked havoc on the village. While the villagers were repairing the damage, a python entered the village and ate their livestock. According to some villagers, the python was the son of the Dragon King. The only way to stop the havoc which had beset their village was to dance a fire dance for three days and nights during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. The villagers made a big fire dragon of straw and stuck incense into the dragon. They lit firecrackers. They danced for three days and three nights and the plague disappeared."Related Photos:
