This year, Oct 2 marks Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival which falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese since long ago, usually with activities such as climbing mountains, enjoying chrysanthemum flowers and eating Double Ninth cake. Since 2013, it has also become a legal festival for the elderly.
