Chinese festivals, holidays, and local traditions

Modern Chinese cultural festivals have their roots in ancient legends and myths. Further, Chinese culture and food are closely linked, and holidays are important to family life. So these articles about festivals and holidays explore the importance of food, family, and festivals in Chinese culture and social life. My warmest memories are the family gatherings for Spring Festival and the Reunion Dinner. I also have many fond memories of my mother associated with her Zhuang heritage and the March 3 Folk Song festival.

Many of our articles feature Zhuang cultural events and foods, which are unique to the Zhuang region of Guangxi province. You should plan your visit to China to coincide with these events.
