Hungry Ghost Festival
alt text
Dazhou city, Sichuan province glowed orange and red on Monday evening as residents celebrated the annual Ghost Festival by lighting hundreds of fires along the riverside. The flames sent plumes of smoke rising into the air, resulting in the city's AQI soaring.
The Ghost Festival (Zhongyuanjie), or the Hungry Ghost Festival, lands on the 15th night of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar. On the date, residents burn incense, joss paper and other items outside of their homes or alongside roads as offerings to their ancestors.
