Cheung Yeung mountain-climbing: The Cheung Yeung Festival is observed on the ninth day of the ninth month (in October). This festival is related to a disastrous incident that occurred during the Han dynasty(206 BC-AD 211). According to legend, a gentlemen, upon the advice of a soothsayer, sought to avoid calamity by taking his family to the mountains for 24 hours. Upon returning to his village, the gentlemen found that disaster had indeed struck. Thus, a custom of leaving one's home and going off to a higher location continues today, and roads up to Victoria Peak are jammed at this time as modern-day doomsdayers follow that ancestor's example:

To the boat people, Tam Kung , a local boy-god capable raising and quelling tempests, is the most important deity after Tin Hau. Therefore, a Kam Kung Festival in his honor is held on the eighth day of the fourth month in the district of Shaukiwan on the eastern tip of Hong Kong Island in an area known as Ah Kung Nyam or "Ancestor's Rocky Hill."
