WAITING LIST The yearly rhythm
Five moments that come round every year. The festivals follow the lunar calendar, so they shift from year to year.
Spring Festival dinner
Ching Ming
清明節
Cleaning the graves and making offerings to the ancestors. Each household goes by itself, to the graves here in the Netherlands or to the cemetery in San Tin.
Family day out
for young and old
A day out with the whole family – a theme park, the beach or a boat trip. The destination is picked afresh every year; children come free.
Mid-Autumn Festival
中秋節
The big family dinner at Sea Palace. Usually 200 to 300 people, from babies to relatives in their nineties.
Chung Yeung
重陽節
The autumn counterpart of Ching Ming: back to the graves, offerings again. Here too, each household goes by itself.
