In Hong Kong, we usually play mahjong during Chinese New Year. Mahjong is played by 4 people, so some people called it "Gang of Four".
Some people play card games and dice games. They bet with a small amount of money to try their luck.
On New Year's day, there is normally firework displays to celebrate. Crowds of people gather together along the Victoria Harbour to watch it.
On the third day of New Year, because it is said that this day is not suitable to visit friends and relatives, many people go to the Che Kung Temple in Shatin to pay worship to Che Kung. Inside the temple there is a fan-bladed wheel of fortune, which, worshippers believe, will bring good luck when turned three times.
