Is there a traditional period going on right now?

Oiler1:
I asked people in my hotel why it was so busy and they said it is the traditional holiday where they pay homage to their ancestors. Is this the Ching Ming period?

Pardon me if I get the terms wrong.

Martin:
When I was in China last year, I arrived on March 31...and it was the grave sweeping holiday.  So its right around that same time.  How is your trip going Don?

mustfocus:
It's too early for Qing Ming (Tomb-sweeping)... April 5th by my calendar.  Although in some places, they do observe it within 20 days of the actual day (I believe).

I just did a wikipedia check and there is the Blue Dragon Festival... I've never heard of it, but I haven't heard of many things. :icon_cheesygrin:

Or the meeting between the unstoppable force and the immovable rock...
