Chinese festivals are celebrate throughout the year, and the dates vary because the lunar calendar is observed (instead of the Roman calendar of most Western regions). Chinese New Year is the most colorful and lasts about two weeks. The Chinese people believe that Tso Kwan goes to heaven during this period to report on the behavior of the people. The third day of the year is Kai Nien. On the fifteenth day of the new year, the lantern festival begins. Dancers masked as lions perform during the two week period of the new year celebration.

Ching Ming is celebrated in early April. It is like a "Remembrance of Ancestors" Day. People go to their ancestors' grave yards and clean them. People also hang willow twigs and branches in their doorways to ward off evil beings.

Tuen Ng is the dragon boat festival. This is a festival held during June in the southern part of China. This is to honor Wut Yuan, a great Chinese poet and patriot. He was a high ranking official in the state of CHu who fought to have practices he did not believe in overturned. Yuan eventually committed suicide in the Milo River, and his followers beat their paddles in the water to avoid fish eating his body. Today, dragon boats are raced in Yuan's memory. The boats are up to one-hundred and twenty feet long, and they have fierce dragon heads on the front.

The Mid Autumn festival is also very popular. The Tang Dynasty kings started the practice of moon watching, and this festival is specifically for observing the moon. Lanterns used to observe the moon are in many shapes such as sharks, kites, speedboats, yachts and airplanes. People exchange cakes and pastries.

The Qingdao Beer Festival is the largest of its kind in Asia. It was initiated in 1991. Thousands of people descend on Qingdao in August to enjoy the tastes and smells of this amazing event. The festival begins in the second weekend of August.

Chinese ethnic minority people also have their own unique festivities, like the

Mongolian People' s Nadam Fair. This is a traditional festival celebrated in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during the 7th lunar month. Nadam is the Mongolian word for recreation. It was first held by the Mongolians during the Han Dynasty. (206 B.C.--220 A.D.).
