2009 Major Exhibitions, Trade Fairs, Cultural Programs and Festival Celebrations of China

Spring Festival

Time: 1st day of the 1st lunar month, which falls on January 26 in 2009
City: All over China
Spring Festival originated in the sacrificial ceremony held shortly after the winter solstice during the early Xia Dynasty (21st-16th century BC), when China was still in the primitive society. The ritual was designed to repay the blessings of the god and celebrate bumper harvests. Today, it has become the foremost of all traditional festivals for the Chinese people.

Lantern Festival
Time: 15th day of the 1st lunar month, which falls on February 9 in 2009

The Lantern Festival has its origin in the Han Dynasty. King Wen of the Western Han Dynasty officially designated the 15th day of the 1st lunar month as Lantern Festival, and during the reign of King Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese began to celebrate this festival with lantern shows. The practice gradually became part of the Chinese folklore and is celebrated in pomp and pageantry. During the Song Dynasty, "yuan xiao", a kind of dumplings made of glutinous rice flour and sweet stuffing, were invented. Such dumplings are boiled in water until they float. They are made exclusively in celebration of the Lantern Festival, which is also called "Yuanxiao Festival".

This will put more than 70 per cent of the population within 100 km of an airport.

As well as building new airports, China is investing heavily to add capacity at existing facilities - all to keep pace with rising passenger numbers and cargo volumes. In 2005, China's airports handled 284 million passengers - 17.5 per cent up on the previous year. Cargo volumes also rose by more than 14 per cent and a similar increase was recorded for flight movements.
