Randy W Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Quote Many Zhuang people honor Liu Sanjie with the Song Festival, and give yet another name to this festival: 'Singing Goddess Day'. You can see a performance called Impression Liu Sanjie in Yangshuo about the “Zhuang Song Fairy”. Edited January 5, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment

Randy W Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) The extra days this year were for Qingming, April 2 - 4. Shenzhen park flooded with thousands of shared bicycles, authorities issue bike ban Quote On that day, 300,000 people celebrated the Qingming Festival holiday by visiting the Shenzhen Bay Park -- many of them arriving on their bikes. According to the park's management office, 10,000 bicycles entered the park on Monday. Edited April 4, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
