The Double Ninth Festival, known as “Chongyang Festival” in Mandarin, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. The number nine is considered auspicious in Chinese culture, as it represents permanence and eternity. The double occurrence of nine (9/9) amplifies these meanings. Common practices during the festival include climbing mountains and enjoying chrysanthemum tea. The festival also serves as a time to honour and remember ancestors, as families gather to pay their respects at graveyards.
