Reading the cultural calendar
Distinguish lunar dates, Gregorian dates and local observances.
Two calendars
Lunar occasions fall on different Gregorian dates each year. Entries are checked against Hong Kong Observatory annual tables, with leap months distinguished.
Different observances
Lungshan Temple lists separate dates for Guanyin’s birthday, enlightenment and renunciation. Memorials are not birthday reminders.
Scope
- This is a selection for 2026 and 2027, not a complete religious calendar.
- Traditional dates do not establish a temple’s event schedule. Check local announcements.
- Dates support cultural reading, not predictions.
