Lovers' Day

Ironically, the Chinese equivalent of St. Valentine's Day falls during Ghost Month. The tradition for Lovers' Day, has been to go out for the evening with your lover and recently, to give small gifts of flowers, or candies. Almost all the restaurants, pubs and discos are packed on this night, so reservations for are required if you want to have a nice romantic night.  Later in the evening, the parks are totally full with young lovers trying to find a little peace and quiet among the hundreds of other couples. Lovers' Day always falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
