Each year the birthday of Tin Hau, the goddess of the sea, is honoured in a bid to bring prosperity, good harvest and safety over the coming year. The day is particularly popular amongst fishing communities and many fishermen adorn their boats with colourful flags and ribbons. Services and ceremonies take place at Tin Hau temples throughout Hong Kong. The day is always celebrated on the 23rd day of the third moon in the lunar calendar.
