Hungry Ghost Festival (August/September) It is time when gate of Hell opens and all ghosts will come to earth. People would offer roasted pork, steamed chicken, and fruits to ghosts. They would also burn paper offerings to dead in streets. It is also said that people should not walk or respond to anybody calling them when walking in street at night. Mid-autumn Festival (September/October) Mooncake is gift you give to your friends and relatives at festival. Apart from that, salted sausages and star fruit are other popular gifts. It is happiest for children because they would enjoy walking in streets with their lanterns. 'Wax-boiling' has become very popular but government in Hong Kong has made it forbidden after many accidents from burning wax. Of course people would make use of chance to look at full moon on day on their balconies or just at home. Traditional mooncakes are made with sweet lotus seed paste with one or more egg yolks. Modern mooncakes come in various styles. Tastes like green tea, red beans, hams and nuts, or even mooncake ice-cream are all available. Just name it and you may find it. Chung Yeung Festival (September/October) There has been a legend from East Han Dynasty. A man was told to leave home and go to a hill top of date to avoid a disaster which would kill all lives there. So he left home with his family and drank chrysanthemum wine as he had been told. When he came back after day, he found that all livestock were killed. Since then, after almost 2000 years, it is believed that it is a day when people should leave home and show their respect to their ancestors on day.
