If you are interested in Chinese culture and custom, visit China during their festivals and join in the local people's celebrating activities. It would be a totally different trip for you. Typical Chinese annual events includes:
Lantern Festival - held on the 15th day of the first moon of the Chinese New Year. It is a big, colorful event that features the famous lion dances.
Tomb Sweeping Day - this event occurs in April. During this observance features the Chinese people spending the day tending the graves of their dear departed ones.
Dragon Boat Festival - this event comes in June. You can participate in the ornate canoe races which are held to pay homage to the poet Qu Yuan.

Mid-Autumn Festival - held in September or in October, you will get a chance to taste the Chinese moon-cakes.
Spring Festival - although it is the most important festival in China, it is the date for family reunion. There is not much activities held.

In southern China, Guizhou province, where the minority groups live, there will be many other festivals and many other types of celebration. China is too large and comprehensive a country. Explore any part of it will leave you life-long good memory.
