In some specific Chinese festivals, such as Yu Lan (Hungry Ghost) Festival, Kwun Yum Festival, Hung Shing Festival and Bun Festival etc, local communities organize Chinese opera performances for free admission to residents and visitors at local venues like Sau Mau Ping Sports Centre and Lam Tin South Sports Centre. To convey reverence for the Chinese gods and goddesses, bamboo scaffolding is used to build the theatre for staging Sun Kung Hei (i.e. Chinese opera performances). The theatres are opposite to the temples, so the Chinese gods and goddesses could enjoy the performances. Tin Hau Temple , which faces the sea, is an excception. Another site has to be chosen for the performances. Ceremony is arranged to set the temporary memorial tablets in the theatre. In addition, organizers dedicate fruits, puddings and livestocks to the gods and goddesses for their birthdays at the ceremonies. After that, the offerings will be distributed to the public and the opera troupes. The duration of these Chinese opera performances varies and depends on the budget and performers' schedule. In general, the performances last from 3 to 5 days.
