Peh Cun Festival 2025
Chinese Confucian people scramble for Bakcang, a traditional Chinese food made from glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and filled with various ingredients, such as pork, salted eggs, shiitake mushrooms, and other spices, before starting the Peh Cun festival on the banks of the Cisadane River in Tangerang City, Indonesia, on May 31, 2025. Peh Cun is a tradition of the Chinese community in Indonesia that celebrates the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese calendar, as a form of respect for an important figure named Qu Yuan, a statesman and writer from the Chu Dynasty who dies on that date. The Peh Cun tradition is also a form of acculturation of Chinese and Indonesian cultures and is part of Indonesia's diversity. (Photo by Aditya Irawan/NurPhoto)
