This festival is all about appeasing, honoring and respecting the ghosts. It takes place over the course of the month, the seventh lunar month, which runs from August 11–September 9, with the key date being on August 25. During this Ghost Month, they say the gates of hell stay open until the festival comes to a close after 30 days. During this time you will see people burning incense, ‘hell money’, and other offerings as gifts and food to appease the restless spirits freed from the underworld.
