Hung Shing Festival 2023

This festival marks the birthday of Hung Shing, a Tang dynasty official who became known for forecasting the weather for fisherman

Dates: March 4, 2023

There is no better way to explore Hong Kong's living culture than to visit the 800-year old fisherman village of Ho Sheung Heung and other areas of Hong Kong during the Hung Shing Festival. The celebrations traditionally include Chinese opera performances, Chinese martial art shows, and a meal bowl for a thousand people. Also expect to see traditional processions with hundreds of thousands of incense sticks and the piu sik (floating colors) parade.
