Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is the most important springtime festival. This year, it is a public holiday, and most companies will close.

If it rains, we will hold the party on Sunday the 6th instead!

It’s that time of year again! It’s a party in Ningbo’s Cherry Blossom
Park to celebrate the end of a long, cold winter and the coming of new
flowers. The park is filled with cherry trees that bloom once a year,
only for a short time. There will be light snacks and soft drinks, and
some playground equipment, courtesy of Yu Feng Chun Toy Rental Store.
Join us for an afternoon under the cheerful cherry trees! Bring the
whole family! The local and international communities are equally
welcome.
