Qing Ming Festival: Celebrated annually in April, the festival is held to honour ancestors. Chinese visit the graves of their loved ones, to clean the area and pay respect. Ancestors are held in great respect, and young family members join in this grave-cleaning ritual. This is also a time that branches of the willow tree are hung in doorways in the hopes of warding off evil spirits.

China's tenacity and vision has provided a sprawling, long and challenging circuit, making this race a thrill to watch.

The 1st of June is the most memorable day for Chinese children, as they are showered with gifts by their parents. Entertainment venues, such as children’s museums, cinemas and parks offer special programs free to children and schools hold special parties.
