Here are some divinities Cheung Chau people would celebrate in the festival:
Pak Tai - Since Cheung Chau is traditionally an island of fisherfolk, Pak Tai is its most revered divinity, since it is believed that he has the power to confer smooth sailing for the fishing boats and good catches for their crews. Pious believers recognise him as "Pei Fang Chen Wu Hsuan T'ien Shang Ti" (True Soldier and Superior Divinity of the Deep Heaven of the North).
Tin Hau - The second of the significant deities whose images add a supplementary splatter of Oriental holiness to the pageant is the much-revered Tin Hau (Goddess of the Seas and protector of all fishermen and boat people). Celebrated for providing warnings of imminent storms and saving countless lives from wreckage, she is in many ways Pak Tai's competitor for the fondness of the fisherfolk. Two more Gods complete the celestial divinities taking part in the parade: Kuan Yin (the Goddess of Mercy with her tranquil and ever compassionate smile) and Hung Hsing (the terrifying God of the South with his menacing head-dress, unkind face, bushy black beard, and stave at the ready to chastise all enemies).
