It is traditionally an occasion for showing respect to the elderly or ancestors, as well as attaching special importance to families. One of the customary cultures of practice is to climb a hill to a high place (\u722c\u5c71\u767b\u9ad8 p\u00e1 sh\u0101n d\u0113ng g\u0101o) and think of their departing family members with good wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contemporary times it is an occasion for outdoor exercising (\u6237\u5916\u8fd0\u52a8 h\u00f9w\u00e0i y\u00f9nd\u00f2ng) such as excursion (\u8fdc\u8db3 yu\u01cen z\u00fa). In Belfast, the Cave Hill is such a great outdoor site for both local and international residents to go hiking.
