This particular parade may well be in Yuen Long, but on this occasion it is part of the annual Taiwan National Day celebrations held on the 10th October commonly referred to as The Double Tenth. This is clearly stated on the banner, evidenced by the flag - and I think the portraits are those of Premier Chiang Kai Shek and Dr Sun Yat Sung.
