Summer Solstice Festival
Similar to the Winter Solstice Festival, The Summer Solstice is also associated with astronomy. The celebration is observed every year on the longest day of the year, which is the 21st or 22nd of June according to the Gregorian calendar. On this unique day, there is an unusual thing to notice: in the northern part of the nation, the day is significantly longer than the night, while in Southern China, the difference is just 2 hours. The government proclaims this day a national holiday, so individuals are free to spend their time anyway they see fit, however noodle eating is particularly popular on that day.
On this day, marketplaces and even the streets are crowded with booths selling noodles. Some people refer to it as a new wheat festival, and the noodles on this day are likewise made entirely of wheat.
