Hello! Hong Kong Tours | Cheung Yeung 2021
It is the time of the year once again when our Hong Kong friends celebrate the annual Cheung Yeung festival. Similar to the Ching Ming Festival in April, Hong Kong families visit the graves and cemeteries to honor and worship their ancestors by means of cleaning and making offerings.
Families often hike before visiting the graves and aim to “go high” as per their ancient customs. They believe it brings them good luck.
Cheung Yeung festival is also a public holiday so most businesses and all schools are closed on this day giving everyone in the city more time to spend time with the family.
It will be a rainy celebration for the Cheung Yueng fetival as the city was hit by two typhoons in a span of days. Your Hello! Hong Kong Tours Team wishes you all a safe celebration!
