Do you know why the Chinese elect to celebrate Father’s Day on the eighth of August (8/8)? That date is roughly pronounced “ba-ba” in Mandarin, so it only made sense because that word sounds almost the same as their word for father.
For the most part, cities in China celebrate the holiday like other countries do. It is likely that dads will get showered with love and gifts. Toss in a pleasant dinner as well.
