During Halloween, many public places and even home courtyards will be decorated with many decorations, such as all kinds of ghosts, pumpkin lanterns, black cats and witches' brooms. Children will put on different Halloween costumes every year and go door-to-door to beg for candy with a basket of pumpkin lanterns, saying it is "trick or treat".

Originated from the ancient Celtic New Year Festival, it is also a time to worship the dead. While avoiding the interference of evil spirits, it also worships ancestors and good spirits with food to pray for peace through the severe winter, which is a traditional western festival.
