·Registrations won’t be returned. Sorry, we are not able to offer your money back unless we call off the event.

About special activities
Garden Extras Many Open Days hosts provide the guests with guided tours and additional activities such as book-signings, plant sales, or demonstrations(展示). These Garden Extras are free with Open Days garden admission(入场费).
Digging Deeper Special site-specific programs were added in 2015 and quickly became popular. In these Digging Deeper events, small groups of visitors come together for informative yet informal talks and demonstrations with experts from the garden world: garden writers, plant collectors, artists, and more.

6 . In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation.     1    .

Qingming Festival

Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox, round April 4 or April 5 every year. People will go to worship their ancestors.     2    , so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival. In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.

Double Ninth Festival

    3    . The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. That day people in different regions eat different food. In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton (馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.

    4    

In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the Lunar year. People celebrate it by having a family reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and staying up late.     5    , but if you did it, you have to say: “sui sui ping an”. It is a pun (双关语), meaning you will be healthy every year.

A．New Year’s Eve

B．Mid-Autumn Festival

C．People always practice special traditional activities in each festival

D．People always visit their friends and relatives

E．They remove the weeds growing on the ancestors’ tombs to make them clean

G．It is celebrated on Sept. 9th of the Lunar Calendar, around October
