FESTIVALS AND TRADITIONS
The Winter Solstice Festival falls during the 11th lunar month. It was traditionally the time by which farmers and fishermen had to prepare for the coming colder months. In Hong Kong, most people finish work early on the festival and go home for lavish meals with their families. They’ll usually include tongyuen on the menu (a sweet soup with balls of sticky rice) because its name sounds like “reunion”.
