Today is the third day of the lunar new year holidays, it is a tradition in Hong Kong to take a break from these gatherings to avoid quarrels believed to be more likely to happen on the third day, Every lunar new year people visit Lam Tsuen wishing tree to throw "Bao Die” onto it, "Bao Die” traditionally made with red or yellow papers on which people would write down their names, dates of birth and wishes, and roll the papers and tie them with an orange, then toss them up onto the Wishing Tree. Legend has it that if the "Bao Die" does not fall down, a wish would come true. (Photo by Vernon Yuen/Nexpher Images)
