Tai Hang Nullah

The original open nullah was located near Queen's College in Tai Hang.  To improve the surrounding environment, the Drainage Services Department carried out the "Improvement Works of Nullah at Tai Hang" project in November 2009.^[4] The project cost HK$24 million and the scope of the project included covering a 250-metre-long Tai Hang Nullah, widening the old footpath, and carrying out greening works along the expanded footpath.^[5][6] The project was completed in August 2013. The project solved the odour problem caused by the Tai Hang Nullah and created a new landmark for Tai Hang - the Fire Dragon Trail, adding a unique leisure space to Tai Hang. The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance performed during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a local tradition of Tai Hang.^[2] This activity was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage of China in 2011, and was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong in 2017. In 2019, it was included in the Excellent Protection Practice Case of National Intangible Cultural Heritage Representative Projects by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China. To mark this cultural event, the new pedestrian walkway was named Fire Dragon Trail (火龍徑).^[7]
