Hungry Ghost Festival

"In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living."

It just started long ago
It is 2 week now!

Have you pray those who believe it

I saw a lot of Chinese pray!
The auction
And best is getai

A concert that rarely censor
You can hear all kinds of jokes!!
There even a movie about it, name 881
Yes a number! It about a getai group performances

Go visit 1 getai you sure enjoy it!
It usually in mandarin or abit of Cantonese or hokkien

I visit 1 before
Fun watching
They said front will always empty
It for the ghost!!!

Believe or not up to you
But better respect it!

So next time you walk becareful not to step on the offering

And enjoy the getai!
