There used to be one, unfortunately it seems to no longer be online. These are the people who maintained it, and it's still listed on their site.

Pics and video of this year's event from someone a lot smarter than cf and me. :lol:
“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

In the afternoon of the 20th day of the tenth month in lunar calendar,


Looks like December 3rd

I don't know if it's what Zla'od was looking for, but I found this calendar on Internet Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/200906050352 ... endar.aspx

Here's the Internet Archive's saved page containing an article entitled "Ching Shan Wang Ritual at Meng Chia": http://web.archive.org/web/201001101533 ... &Control=3
