Introduction to the Double Ninth Festival

The Double Ninth Festival, also known as Chongyang Festival, is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month according to the traditional Chinese calendar. This date is considered auspicious because "nine" is the largest single-digit number, symbolizing longevity and good fortune. The festival has a history dating back over 2,000 years and is observed by spending time with family, climbing mountains, and enjoying chrysanthemum flowers and wine.
