in downtown Guangzhou this past holiday many people were flying kites in the brisk breeze that was going on AT NIGHT and they had little lites tied on the kites? so i went talking with a few and they said during this time it is accepted to fly the kites and the lites are the gods lanterns which i thought was interesting and something new i learned as i have never saw that all these past years coming in and out of China. so i thought i would share that.

Martin:
It was about this time last year that Peter and I saw this same thing in Changsha.

Bee964:
Is this an anual holiday guys? I have not heard of this one before. I have heard of the chinese flying kites at night with lites but I didn't know it was a holiday. Is this what it is called too, "Qing Ming"?
