For most, it's a holiday to enjoy the beautiful and temperate autumn weather of Hong Kong. Hiking is a popular family activity as is visiting the graves of ancestors. Luckily, lots of graveyards are on hills. Two birds with one stone, what up!!
When I asked Sammy, my R.A. of sorts (who loves to eat his chicken bones...), he said it celebrates the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. "Nine" represents "yang," or the masculine part of this guy.
Think of it as the 09/09/09 party of the Chinese Century! Woah! That's a lot of man to handle--triple the yang!
So to all you readers to my West--wishing you the best on this most masculine of days.
Manly,
Dans
