For the sea goddess

Published April 23, 2014

Tin Hau, whose birthday is celebrated this year on April 22, is known as the Goddess of the Sea and maintains high popularity ratings amongst Hong Kongers due to the close association between the territory and the sea – two other sea-faring places, Macau and Vietnam also hold Tin Hau in high-regard.

Chinese Cantonese opera singers and performers in Lamma Island, an outlying island of Hong Kong, put on a show to celebrate the day which is marked according to the Lunar Calendar.
