Hong Kong families paid tribute to their ancestors on the final day of the Chung Yeung Festival break, expressing their respects through everything from elaborate traditional rituals to a simple bunch of flowers.
More than a dozen people queued outside Chai Wan MTR station on Monday morning, a public holiday, for the special tomb-sweeping service to the Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery.
Citybus staff said demand had been greater the previous day, when buses – running every 20 minutes – were full, carrying more than 80 seated passengers.
A man surnamed Yeung, who had come from Lam Tin, was waiting at the bus stop with one of his parents and two bags of offerings.
