The "Tai O Water Village Lantern Festival" was forced to explode on the weekend before the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday (18th) due to the influx of citizens, which seriously hindered the life of the residents on the island and caused the lights to be turned off early. The lights will not turn on. As of today (19th) and Sunday, the Tung Chung Bus Station is still full of people taking the bus to Tai O. However, due to the additional buses from the bus company from time to time, there are no crowds at the bus stop.
Some members of the public expressed that they are worried that Tai O will also be exploded today. They will go early and return early. They may not stay until the evening. They do not want to affect the residents: "I always talk about housing and enterprises. Housing and enterprises are making noise."
