Wo Hop Shek: Chung Yeung Festival

Even the cemetery is crowded Foo dog protects a grave Green foo dog Graves with a view Steep staircase cut into the hillside The 1970 section Congregation of the dead Family urn Serving traditional picnic food Remains of exploded illegal firecrackers Half-burned candle at a grave Burning hell money in a barrel A wealth of offerings Joss sticks burn behind a grave Tending graves Stone holds down paper offering Canvas brushes to beat down hill fires A woman waits with several bags of offerings Jars filled with mysterious foodstuffs Families coming and going to the cemetery
