七夕 Qixi Chinese Valentine's Day
Celebrate love and romance on August 10, 2024, as we revive the enchanting Qixi Festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day, or Qiqiao Festival. Held on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, its origins involve a romantic legend about two star-crossed lovers, Niulang, whose name means “cowherd”, and Zhinu, or “weaver girl”. Though rooted in the tale of two star-crossed lovers, Qixi is much more than the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day—it's a night of celestial romance and heartfelt dreams.
