Examples

“One morning, I took the ferry to Cheung Chau, a speck of land southwest of Hong Kong Island. There it was even easier to forget that just six miles away, barricades were being set up in anticipation of a major protest in Mong Kok.”

“Hong Kong’s iconic bun festival attracted tens of thousands of visitors to Cheung Chau on Wednesday, a public holiday marking Buddha’s Birthday.”

“The first thing crowds saw Wednesday as they poured from the Cheung Chau island ferry onto a wide, waterfront promenade was a temporarily vegetarian McDonald’s. “Adhering to the rituals of the Bun Festival,” a small printed sign read, explaining that the restaurant would temporarily offer a McVeggie burger and products without meat, dairy or eggs.”
