Jianshui people celebrated Double Seventh Festival by way of ancient rituals last year.

Models exhibited Chinese ancient costumes on Double Seventh Festival in Jianshui last year.

Double Seventh Festival, which also renowned as the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, will fall on August 2 this year. Some traditional activities such as praying to Vega and Altair by girls, listening to Guqin music the Male Phoenix's Pursuit, etc., will be celebrated on that day in Jianshui County, Yunnan.

All of these activities will be held in the Confucian Temple of Jianshui County as usual.
