  • Festival Description: The Tin Hau Festival in Leung Shuen Wan is a significant traditional ceremony to local villagers. It was listed in the Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage inventory in 2014. The annual celebrations vary depending on whether it’s a ‘big festival’ year or a ‘small festival’ year.
    This year happens to be a ‘big festival’ year, during which an opera troupe will be hired to perform Cantonese Opera for Appeasing the Gods. The rituals also consist of presenting memorials, opening the altar, offering meals to wandering ghosts, posting the name list of villagers, a sea parade and great offerings.
