Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Villain hitting" is a well known ceremony in Hong Kong where the customer nominates a target to curse, in order to bring the customer good luck in their endeavors. The most well known place for it is under the Canal Road overpass in Causeway Bay, colloquially known as Goose Neck Bridge, where many villain hitters set up shop. During Chinese holidays such as Chinese New Year, there are often huge lines of people.
