How many days does Ghost Festival usually last?

Ghost Festival usually lasts for three days. However, the time will be different in different regions, depending on the local customs.

From most parts of China, Ghost Festival is from July 14 to 16, which is a day when the gates of hell are wide open.

The door of ghosts is open, so that ghosts who wander in the underworld can return to the dead and meet their relatives. However, there are also a large number of ghosts, or spectres with hatred, who will return to the dead to do evil.

Therefore, during the three days of Ghost Festival, try to go home as early as possible, and don't wander outside late at night.

At night, someone tells you from behind not to look back, not to accept gifts from strangers, and not to talk to strangers.

Don't make any noise near the water, mountain streams, cemeteries and other places.

Of course, if you see artificial paper money on the road, it is also suggested that you need to detour, don't stare, and you must not laugh at it or be disrespectful.
