The official Chinese Valentine's Day - is the 7th Day of the 7th Month based on the Lunar Calendar.
The second one is on the 14th Day of the Lunar New Year. Chap Goh Mei or the fifteenth night.
The last is the Mooncake Festival - 15th Day of the 8th Month. Also known as Mid-Autumn Festival. This is also celebrated as Chunseok in Korea. It is also the date to launch the uprising against the Mongol regime in the Middle Kingdom by the first mass encrypted-yet-delicious-email of all time - the mooncake! As the Mongols were totally not interested with this tradition of sharing mooncakes, dissidents and freedom fighters planted secret notes inside the mooncakes - sharing them among villagers, councils, checkpoints - everywhere.
