Celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day (1/6)

People wearing period costumes pray in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, on Aug 11, 2013. According to Chinese legend, a cowherd and a weaving maid were separated by the galaxy and allowed to meet only once a year in heaven on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which falls on Aug 13 this year. Chinese people celebrate Qixi festival on that day. [Photo: CNS/Wang Sizhe]
