Sheung Shui Da Jiu Festival

[hkdigit]

Da Jiu Festival taken place once in every 60 years in the Sheung Shui community. During the festival, the "Ghost King Parade" will be held. Dozens of the male village dwellers bring the 20 feet high paper-made Ghost King to run around the village.

The parade is finished by the ritual of burning the Ghost King to send him back to the underworld.
