Cheung Yeung Festival — double the Yang, double the meaning.
Every year on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Hong Kong celebrates the Cheung Yeung Festival (重陽節) — a day to honour ancestors, ward off misfortune, and embrace the power of double 9 “Yang” energy.
In a quiet Sham Shui Po temple, dragons guard the rooftop, lanterns sway in the breeze, wax lotus candles glow alongside hanging embroidered Yin-Yang and lotus patterns. Figurines of ancestors rest among offerings — a reminder that remembrance and balance go hand in hand.
So if you spotted a Yin-Yang sign in a temple yesterday, that was the universe giving you a gentle nudge — a reminder to find balance, even in a city that’s always on the move.
✨ Hope you enjoyed yesterday’s holiday — a little time off to reflect, recharge, and soak in some balance. Did you manage to climb a mountain or drink chrysanthemum tea? ☯️🌿
