This year, due to the lack of Taiping Qingjiao Baoshan grabbing and related activities in Cheung Chau, coupled with the collision with Mother's Day and the Chief Executive Election Day, today (8th) Buddha's birthday is not as crowded as before.
Some residents of Cheung Chau said that the streets are "so quiet, and they are usually very prosperous", while others said that the cancellation of the looting of Baoshan was "so lost".
However, some tourists came here to celebrate her birthday at this special time, and they believed that it was Buddha's birthday, Mother's Day and the election of the Chief Executive, which made her birthday "especially impressive" this year.

Residents who have moved out of Cheung Chau after canceling the looting of Baoshan: "There is no way, I am so lost"
Mr. Ho, who originally lived in Cheung Chau, has participated in activities on Taiping Qingjiao in the past. Although he has moved away from Cheung Chau, he still adheres to the tradition of "sneaking every year".
He felt helpless about the cancellation of Baoshan Mountain this year due to the epidemic, "I can't help it, I'm so lost.
He pointed out that the streets of Cheung Chau, where the Buddha was born today, are not as lively as they used to be, "there are less people."

When asked if there is only one candidate for this year's chief executive election, he said that the overall situation has been decided.
