Chinese Festivals in Hong Kong unravels the mystique of Chinese folklore. When Hong Kong was opened up after 1842, there were a large number of fishermen living in Hong Kong. Fishermen worked in the sea. They believed that the help of gods was necessary for safety and survival. This made some of the festivals full of superstitious features.
