China
Asia is not a continent that celebrates carnival festivities. However, some cities have celebrations that are unique and also have particular elements of carnival festivities.
Monihei Carnival or Monihei Festival is an annual celebration held in Cangyuan County, China. The Monihei Festival consists of a ceremony in which people dirty each other with mud until they are completely covered.
The Lantern Festival, also known as Yuan Xiao Festival, is a celebration that takes place in China and other Asian countries that honors deceased ancestors on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar.
