Chung Yeung Festival 重陽節 (China Trip 13 & 14 Oct)

My China Home - (Grave-Sweeping 掃墓)
It is another major festival to respect and remember ancestors. During the Han Dynasty, a man followed the advice of a sage to take his family to a high place. On returning, they found floods and sickness had destroyed everything. On this holiday, everyone visits mountain tops to ward off future disasters, many goto visit, sweep and honor the cemeteries.

My China home has a new Park next to our house
