Kanmon

Kanmon [韩询; かんもん] is the first shrine or temple visit of the Kantonese New Year. It is customary to visit on the first day of the New Year (New Year's Day), in order to cleanse one's body and soul and develop goodwill with the spirits for the next twelve months ahead. Generally, visitors will buy a prophecy or 闲信 (chōgami) and accompanying good luck charm (闲守; chōmita) in order to see the predictions for the coming year of their life. Worship at temples is often brief, as most people prefer to pray privately within their own homes.
Some shrines and temples have millions of visitors over the three or four days of New Years' celebrations. Naitai Temple, for example, had 2.15 million visitors in 2003, and many others experienced similarly high numbers. Due to the sheer amount of people visiting these sacred sites, some temples may close temporarily just after New Year in order to thoroughly cleanse the building and rid it of any mixed or negative energy.
The last shrine or temple visit of the year is called rōmon, and usually occurs in the last week of December.
