Today (4th) is the Double Ninth Festival. Many filial sons and grandsons took advantage of the holiday to climb the mountain to pay their respects to their ancestors. Under the ban on gatherings of 4 people, many citizens of the Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery began to heat up the mountain this morning. It takes regarding half an hour to walk to the MTR station. As for the Chai Wan Chinese Permanent Cemetery, hundreds of people continue to wait for the bus at the bus terminus of Chai Wan Station. In addition to the fact that the ban on gatherings has not been lifted, the mask order has not been lifted so far. In extremely hot weather, it is very difficult for citizens to hike and climb mountains.
East.com reporters met at the Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery this morning. Many citizens were walking up the mountain with offerings and umbrellas in twos and threes under the scorching sun. There was no crowd. During the climb, Mrs. Tang, a citizen, was suspected of being too hot and felt dizzy and uncomfortable for a time. She needed the assistance of the Auxiliary Medical Team. She took a rest and waited for her physical condition to improve before continuing to walk to the ashes pavilion to worship the mountain.
Mr. Guan and his wife, a citizen, set off from Tiu Keng Ling Station. They were sweating on the way. Mrs. Guan bluntly said that the weather is hot today. Mr. Guan echoed that the mask order has not been removed, “wearing a mask (walking on the mountain) will cost you two dollars to die.” Half, “so expensive and sharp”!
