Aside from the celebrations happening at the art center, Mexican restaurant Moji will organize a mix of events to enable Beijingers to explore more about the tradition at Liangmaqiao's Grand Summit.

An altar and an exhibit showcasing traditional Mexican paintings will be on view until Nov 3. In addition, a market featuring Mexican food, drinks, and handicrafts, and a makeup party on Saturday night will add more sparkle to the holiday.

To spice up the Day of the Dead festivities in China, Lara said that Mexican restaurants around the country are also honoring this tradition by offering holiday specials.

For example, Mexican restaurant El Barrio in downtown Beijing will liven up its venue with live Mariachi music, a type of traditional Mexican folk music that is often played on festive occasions.

Pebbles, another Mexican restaurant in Beijing, will offer special prices for its tacos, drinks, and desserts. In addition, customers can have their faces painted for free at the restaurant on Saturday.
