Festivals
So much in Asia depends on the calendar. In February in Beijing, more than 20 million people all set off fireworks to celebrate Chinese New Year. In Nagaland in India, tribes from all over the region meet to compete, dance, and celebrate. In Thailand, spectators look on as celebrants perform bizarre rituals at the Nine Emperor Gods Festival.

Whether you want an up-close view of the Sing-Sing festival in the Asaro Valley of Papua New Guinea or a quiet walk through the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, Remote Lands can give travelers the best possible experience on their celebrations throughout Asia.

Hansik
March-April
Also known as ‘Eating Cold Food Day,’ Hansik falls in March or April, marking when warm weather thaws the frozen lands. Modern customs include tidying up family tombs and planting trees, as the holiday also coincides with Arbor Day. In addition to ancestral shrine visits and car, tradition dictated eating cold food such as pickled vegetables and forbade using fire.
