Go! You must experience the traditional ritual of the 2025 Saigon Tin Hau Festival✨

#香港传统節慶 Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage is so charming! Saigon Tin Hau Festival is a traditional festival to celebrate the birthday of Tin Hau Goddess. This year, it will be held for 5 days from May 22nd to 26th. The full sense of folk rituals will directly bring you back to the old times~ I was shocked as soon as I walked into Tin Hau Temple Square! The stage is high and the red curtain is opened. The sleeves of the Cantonese opera actresses flutter with the sound of gongs and drums. Grandpas and grandmas in the audience are singing with sunflower fans. Young people hold their mobile phones to shoot classic singing segments. The fireworks and traditional art are instantly blended🎭 The most authentic part is the "burning incense and praying for blessings". The believers hold incense and candles and walk around the temple three times. The smoke is full of expectations for peace. The temple priests will also give peace amulets. The blessings wrapped in red paper are super warm~ Must-check in at the traditional snack stalls on both sides of the square! Freshly made sugar scallion pancakes wrapped with sesame and peanut crumbs, bowl-shaped shark's fin with fried fish skin are so fragrant that you can stamp your feet. There are also sugar paintings with the theme of "Tianhou Festival" sold by grandmas in bamboo baskets, and the dragon and phoenix patterns sparkle in the sun~ The classic Cantonese opera "The Flower of the Imperial Concubine" will be performed in the theater at night. When the lanterns are hung high, listening to the aria "I meet you again in the season of falling flowers", time seems to flow back to old Hong Kong🌙 Remember to wear comfortable shoes, transfer to the green minibus from the MTR Choi Hung Station to Sai Kung Market, and walk for 10 minutes~ This traditional event that has lasted for thousands of years is not only a festival but also a cultural memory. Hurry up and make an appointment with friends to experience the most authentic Hong Kong folk customs!
