The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. It is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. People began to celebrate it as early as the Warring States Period. During the Tang Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was included in the official list of folk festivals.
On that day, people visit the old with their family. They also climb mountains and eat Chongyang cake. Chongyang cake is a nine-layer cake like a tower. People usually put two flour sheep on the top. Some people put a small red flag on the cake and light candles.
