Eating Qingtuan, a sweet green rice ball, is a tradition for the Chinese people on this festival. The Changsha Museum organized an "our fascinating festival" activity on that day to provide participators with opportunities to learn about Qingming Festival traditions, experience Qingtuan making, and feel the cultural charms of this traditional festival.
