Double Ninth Festival Folk Activities
Autumn sun drying

Over time, it has become a rather special folk activity. Many painters or photographers will go to the mountains during the holidays in order to find good materials.
Ancestor worship

Some families are more particular and will put red flags on the Chongyang cake, light candles and so on.
Climb
During the festival, families would go out together, maybe to climb mountains or to visit high towers. The purpose of climbing a height is not only to enjoy the magnificent view, but also to hope to see further and reach greater heights in the future life. Therefore, during the holidays, many parents especially like to take their children to climb mountains, hoping that their academic performance will continue to improve.

During the Double Ninth Festival, the weather is good, so people go outdoors to fly kites. Kites come in all kinds of shapes, symbolizing beauty and happiness, and also representing spreading wings and flying.
