Chung Yeung Festival (重陽節)It is a day to remember and pay respect to our ancestors. People will conduct grave-sweeping and offerings to ancestors' graveyard. It is also a get-to-the-nature day for hiking. The festival is about a Han Dynasty (BC202~AD220) legend. A soothsayer advised Woon King that there would be a disaster, and told him he should take his family to a high place for the entire 9th day of the 9th month. Woon King did it, and upon his return to his village, all living things in the village had been slaughtered.
