Presentation: Chinese Myths and Monsters at Halloween!
Celebrate spooky season with a fun presentation about China’s monsters, ghosts, demons and other supernatural creatures! China has a festival that has some similarities to Halloween, the Ghost Festival which falls in August. But we thought this presentation would be a great one to have at Halloween!
