wedding
Now it looks like a kind of religious procession with people dressing up like actors in a Cantonese opera. Usually people don't do that in wedding procession. They are celebrating say the birthday of a deity. Like this one is the celebration of the birth of the heavenly queen (天后) in Yuen Long. Obviously those are not day to day clothings in 1920s Hong Kong or China.
