The Tin Hau Festival in Po Toi Island is a cultural festival with a long-standing tradition. During this period, local residents would gather in Tin Hau Temple and conduct a series of sacrificial and celebration ceremonies. The whole festival represents praying for blessings and wishes. Other than that, the five-day and four-night ritual operas are performed on scaffolding stages, allowing people to experience the traditional cultural atmosphere of harmony between humans and gods when they are appreciating the operas.
