The Sha Tau Kok Fish Lantern Dance originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and was popular in Sha Tau Kok, Yantian and the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is a must-have for fishermen during festivals and worshipping ancestors. The fish lanterns are exquisitely made of bamboo strips tied into the shape of fish, paper-painted and painted, and then coated with tung oil. A short stick is attached to the bottom, and the dancers hold the stick and dance like a school of fish in the sea. The accompanying instruments include gongs, drums, cymbals, suona, conch shells, etc.
