STORYLINE:
Hong Kong put on a drone show to celebrate a traditional Chinese festival Monday.
It's the first time for Hong Kong to fly drones over Victoria Harbour to mark the Tuen Ng holiday (pronounced Choon Ung in English).
The legend goes back centuries, to when a popular Chinese official jumped into a river under pressure from some other officials.
Locals who liked him felt bad, and tried to stop fish eating his body, by throwing dumplings into the water to give the fish something else to eat.
That's why the dumpling is a symbol of this festival day.
There was a crowd to watch the drone show on Monday night on the shores of Victoria Harbour, but not as many people as have turned out in the past for fireworks shows, or the most recent drone show, which featured the popular Japanese cartoon character Doraemon.
