This morning I called my Mum, she told me today is the Chongyang Festival.
In China the 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival.
On the Double Ninth Festival, people usually climb mountains or towers (people do this just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in), appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. In Chinese, cake has the same pronunciation with height.
The Double Ninth Festival is also the "Old Men Festival". Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.
