Hundreds of worshippers throng to a Daoist temple in Hong Kong to offer incense at the turn of the lunar new year, which is celebrated at 11pm. The city's famous Wong Tai Sin temple welcomed crowds of visitors for the ritual of burning the first incense sticks of the year, as the city and mainland China ease Covid restrictions and border controls.
