It could be a bit confusing but take a closer look and you can tell the difference – The Cheung Chau Bun Festival, or the Jiao Festival, finally returned after three years of Covid-19 pandemic, so did children wearing cute and funny costumes, and turning into prominent figures during the Piu Sik parade. Back to the modern day, two kids dressed as Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po and Executive Council convener Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee. Despite the scorching weather, many citizens flocked to Cheung Chau early this morning to grab their front-row seats for the parade. Some even said they had arrived on the island last night already to feel the electric festivity atmosphere. Sun Ferry says about 32,000 are headed to Cheung Chau from the Central pier as of 5 pm.
