(24 Jan 2020) People gathered at the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong on Friday to welcome the Chinese Year of the Rat, which begins Saturday.
According to tradition, those who take part in the lunar new year's celebrations aim to be first in line to burn incense sticks and say prayers.
Many who attended the temple wore masks in response to threats of a new coronavirus spreading from mainland China.
"The atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is not as good as last year - even if there's no coronavirus. Some shops closed down and people are not in the mood to go shopping," said May Wen, Hong Kong resident.
Ordinarily, thousands of people would have been out shopping on lunar new year's eve, however, many stayed home following months of pro-democracy protests and a government shutdown of tradtional markets.
