These festivities will replenish their spirits lost in the tautological wheel of routine activities. The laughter and happiness brought about by these events surpasses the boundaries of human mind.

Chongyang Festival

Chongyang Festival is also known as the "Double Ninth Festival" which usually takes place on the ninth day of the ninth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
