The sound of a drum

"The sound of a drum. The noise of a crowd.
 
"They're coming," the small child shouted.
 
The procession moved on, colourful banners held high, dragons in the air, excited faces, and large drums pulled by dedicated young souls while their leader beat a rhythm for the parade.
 
This was the Wong Tai Sin District Festival, a local event with traditional performers.
 
Inside the stadium, youths hoisted multi-coloured flags into the air. There were dragons in red and white, acrobats on stilts, and children in bright costumes performing for the crowd."

In this article I give readers an insight into another side of Hong Kong, with its colourful festivals and interesting temples. It's not all shopping and nightlife.
