Hong Kong welcomes Year of Rooster

By Chris Hogg
BBC, Hong Kong

Hong Kong is worrying the rooster may bring back bird flu
Hong Kong is preparing to celebrate the lunar new year and the start of the Year of the Rooster.

Geomancers and feng shui masters are much in demand to predict the economic, political and personal fortunes of the year ahead.

The Chinese belief in fate and fortune telling is deep rooted.

It has been practised for thousands of years and in modern-day Hong Kong, it is still a serious business.
