Many of the costumes were absolutely beautiful and incredibly ornate!
An apparatus was designed to look as though one child was easily supporting another. There were many such "floats" and the children were young and occasionally looked a bit frightened to be poised up in the air. 
The parade was so colorful with various groups participating. We decided everyone in the village must have been part of the parade, young and old alike. We particularly enjoyed the dragon and lion dances, the brightly colored and decorated flags, and the children. The parade lasted over two hours and then we made the trip back to HK island, seeing many container ships on the way. We commented that the goods they contained were probably headed to the USA where so many "Made in China" goods are sold.
