Ghost Month
During the month of Yue Laan (Hungry Ghost) . This is when restless spirits are said to roam the earth, and when the believers make efforts to appease the ghosts and ancestors – particularly during the Hungry Ghost Festival itself. In some areas of Hong Kong, visitors can see small roadside fires, where believers burn fake money and make other offerings to the restless spirits and their ancestors. Special food is often prepared to feed the hungry ghosts.
