Chung Yeung Festival

Monday, 26 October 2009, our Hong Kong office will be closed.   Our Singapore and Chinese offices will remain open.

Chung Yeung Festival is a day to respect and remember ancestors, a ritual that is widely followed in Hong Kong among the Chinese community.   Also known as Autumn Remembrance, this festival is similar to Ching Ming in the spring, in that families journey to the graves of their ancestors to perform cleansing rites and pay their respects.  It is also a day for hiking where many Hong Kong families head to the hills to picnic during the Chung Yeung Festival.
