besides the profusion of beautiful flowers, people drink chrysanthemum

wine and eat chrysanthemum cakes on this day. It is believed that

chrysanthemums help with detoxification, and also driving out evil

spirits. It is celebrated in Beijing during the golden season of Autumn.

7-5-3 (Shichi-Go-San) Festival - Japan Shichi-go-san is a festival celebrated by parents on the fifteenth of

November to mark the growth of their children as they turn three, five

and seven years of age. The boys don on haori jackets and hakama

trousers, while the girls wear a special ceremonial kimono. They are

taken to the local shrine to pray for a safe and healthy future and

parents buy chitose-ame ("thousand years" candy) for their children. The

candy is shaped like a stick and comes in a bag that carries illustrations of

cranes and turtles - two animals that traditionally symbolise longevity in

Japan.
