Double Ninth Festival
Double Ninth Festival or Chongyang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese lunar calendar, which falls on October 4 this year.
It has long been a day for the Chinese to show care and love to the elderly. It is also a traditional folk holiday focused on good health and long life, with various festivities. Many of the celebrations are inherited from the past, including visiting the elderly, admiring chrysanthemums, drinking chrysanthemum wine or tea, wearing cornel twigs and climbing to the highlands.
