Tin Hua Festival – Fêting the Goddess of the Sea
Sophisticated, fast-paced and tech-savvy, Hong Kong is the usually the picture of an ultra-modern metropolis. However, its traditional Chinese culture is deeply entrenched in the psyche of its people, becoming never more apparent than on the days of Chinese festivity. The slate-grey streets and sterile lines of the city become woven through with the bright, burning vibrance of fireworks, lanterns, feasting and fire-dancing, adding a whole new verve and richness of spirit to the city.
Hong Kong's festivities are just as noisy and delightfully chaotic as any celebrated within mainland, with thousands of people turning out into the streets to participate in the celebratory atmosphere. Lion and dragon dancers are the highlight of the parades, as are carnivals and games like mah jong. Entire streetscape becomes suffused with the scent of incense and the sounds of Beijing Opera. For a traveller, visiting Hong Kong during a Chinese festival is the best way to experience the full flavour of this East-West nexus.
The Tin Hua festival is one of these celebrations that is known to be among the most vibrant and loudest of a considerable repertoire of colourful festivals. Celebrated on the 9th of May, the festival pays homage to the Goddess of the Sea Tin Hua. According to legend, the goddess guided the fishing boats safely home, through storm and typhoon and is venerated as the protector of sailors and fishermen.
Because Hong Kong is an island surrounded by the ocean from all sides, this festival understandably enjoys a very close association with the hearts of the local people. This is a trait Hong Kong shares with other sea-faring countries such as Macau and Vietnam, both of whom also celebrate the Tin Hua Festival in great pomp and grandeur.
Hong Kong's own celebrations are concentrated mainly around Sai Kung's Joss House Bay, where is found a temple dedicated to Tin Hua. From this vantage point one can see a myriad of gaily dressed fishing boats floating up and down the blue-grey bay in a riot of colourful flags and streamers. Dragon dancers perform to the tempo of loud drum beats while worshippers proffer offerings of dumplings and fruit; combined with the heavy crowd, the place is a joyful melee of noise, colour and delicious aromas. Most people elect to watch the goings-on on board one the ferries that service Sai Kung.
The festival is characterized by the floral paper designs called fa pau that are offered to Tin Hua. The festivities usually winds up with a procession, while the New Territories' Yuen Long, a parade of lion dancers is held to fete the goddess.
The Langham Hotel Hong Kong is the accommodation of choice for travellers to this city seeking a luxury hotel in Hong Kong during festival s such as Tin Hua. One of the prime picks among luxury Hong Kong hotels, this European-style haven is located at the epicentre of the Tsimshatsui shopping area, affording polished comfort to the deserving traveller.
