The Gooseneck Bridge (i.e. Canal Road Flyover) on Hong Kong Island has always been a popular place for Villains Hitting. Traditionally, Villains Hitting are usually carried out in dark places, and places like the bottom of the bridge are very suitable. Therefore, the Gooseneck Bridge It gradually developed into a resort for Villains Hitting.
As for the best day to Villains Hitting, Awakening of Insects is one of the 24 solar terms. Awakening of Insects is held on March 5 or 6 every year in the Western calendar. On this day, many insects or animals that have hibernated or hid underground for the winter will wake up. Reactivation means the renewal of all things. Because all things are beginning to wake up, which may include some bad things, such as bad luck or ignorance, they will also wake up at the same time. Therefore, this is the time to hit the villains. The purpose of Villains Hitting is to get rid of things that are not good for you. , such as bad luck. From another perspective, it is actually to pray for yourself, rather than to impose a curse on someone by Villains Hitting.
The area around the Gooseneck Bridge is all high-rise buildings, a modern scene, but there is a place for traditional ceremonies under the bridge. The contrast between the two is extremely high. This strong contrast between the old and the new yet blends into each other is exactly what Hong Kong has to offer. Characteristics are also the unique magic that makes Hong Kong attractive.

Yu Lan Festival which held by 30 Houses, actually mentioned in the previous episodes, the venue is on Staunton Street opposite PMQ, and the day is more special, it is on the 24th of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, not the traditional On the 14th day of the seventh lunar month when the gate of hell is open.
In the past two years, due to the epidemic, the Yu Lan Festival has been suspended, so we were unable to shoot relevant clips, but recently the editorial department found some old clips, which were filmed in 2016. We decided to share it with the readers.
In the clip, you can see that the Yu Lan Festival was held on Staunton Street opposite the PMQ. There were no road closures during the period, and cars could pass by as usual. The Soho district of Staunton Street is a highly westernized area in Hong Kong. There are many bars and restaurants nearby. It is a place where many foreign tourists or foreigners living in Hong Kong like to spend time. It feels very good to hold the Yu Lan Festival here. In particular, I saw Taoist priests chanting sutras, neighbors making treasures and burning clothes, foreign tourists stopping to watch out of curiosity, and even taking pictures with their cameras. The two cultures of Chinese and the Western are perfectly integrated, which is peculiar but not contradictory. This kind of The miscellaneous situation of Chinese and foreign countries is a major feature of Hong Kong.
Thanks for watching
