長洲太平清醮 (Cheung Chau Bun Festival)

[pez]

I went to Cheung Chau (southwest Hong Kong) with my family before coming back to UK. The islanders were preparing for the Bun Festival, so I took some pictures. I'm not sure about the exact origin of the tradition, but it has something to do with appeasing the dead spirits, or so I've been told. (included pic of tree because it reminded me of Tezuka's "Marilyn" bonsai. And I pixellated Sheep away 8D)
