Chung Yeung Festival, also known as Autumn Remembrance, takes place on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. The festival is a day to respect and remember ancestors, a practice widely valued by the Chinese. On this day, families travel to the hillside to care for the graves of their ancestors and to make sacrifices of special paper money and paper winter clothing.
