Gau wu 鳩嗚

Gau wu (literal meaning: shopping tour; a form of protest)
繁:鳩嗚
简:鸠呜

Traffic may have returned to the Mong Kok protest zone, but last week’s clearance of the encampment has given rise to a new form of protest known as the “shopping tour”, with activists taking to the crowded footpaths to convey their political message.

Having joined the gau wu tour nightly since last week, Ng said window shopping was “a lot more fun” than guarding the roadblock outside City Hall in Central, which he has done since the start of the Occupy protests. “This is not even illegal,” he said.

大批市民連續第二晚參加深宵「鳩嗚」,昨凌晨由旺角沿彌敦道步行至尖沙嘴,沿途高叫「我要真普選」。警方未有以暴力阻撓,但就在大隊到達尖沙嘴後大規模檢查市民身份證,近百人被逐一查證。

響應特首梁振英到佔領區消費的呼籲,前晚大批市民再到旺角「鳩嗚」。晚上約11時半,約500人參與深宵「鳩嗚團」,由旺角出發,沿彌敦道往南走,經廟街、海防道、廣東道,凌晨約3時到達尖沙嘴。
