End of Ramadan

In China, the end of Ramadan, known as Eid al-Fitr, is celebrated by the Muslim community with great enthusiasm and festivity. The exact date of Eid al-Fitr varies each year based on the lunar Islamic calendar. The festival is observed based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the end of Ramadan.

During Eid al-Fitr in China, Muslims gather for special prayers at mosques, where they offer thanks to Allah for the strength and perseverance during the month of fasting. After the prayers, families and friends come together to enjoy feasts and exchange gifts. Traditional dishes are prepared, and sweet treats are shared among loved ones.

In cities with significant Muslim populations such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Urumqi, public celebrations may include street fairs, cultural performances, and communal meals. Mosques and Islamic centers often organize charity events to help those in need, ensuring that everyone can participate in the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
