Releasing water lanterns in rivers: On the night of Zhongyuan Festival, or China's Ghost Festival, that falls on the 15th day of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar, the lotus-shaped lanterns are lit and set afloat in rivers and out into seas to symbolically guide the lost souls of forgotten ancestors towards the afterlife.

Brewing herbal tea: To match changes in the weather, herbal tea is an ideal way to clear away heat and balance the yin and yang of the body.
