The Chinese Vegetarian Festival happens once a year, lasts for 9 days and is a very colorful and dramatic celebration. The origin of the festival is unclear. However, it has been passed from generation to generation that it originated in the south-eastern part of China near Fujian Province. The festival is celebrated to make merit and save animals from being killed for food. The entire atmosphere is full of religious frenzy with the ear splitting sound of firecrackers and lion dances. We were both a part of it and was a great experience!
