Hung Shing Festival is celebrated annually, and is particularly important to fishermen. Hung Shing was originally a historical figure who was later deified. The man behind the immortal was Hung Hei, who served as Governor of Panyu in Guangdong province during the Tang dynasty (618–907). Hung was a respected astronomer and geographer who helped forecast the weather for fishermen and merchants. The festival is celebrated in many ways, including a traditional procession, Chinese opera, dragon and lion dances, and more.
