is that applied to chinese ghosts only? what about other races of ghosts? Do they get to enjoy this day?
It's a Taoist and Buddhist festival so it pretty much covers all East Asians.

    Obon: Japan's Ghost Festival

The Obon festival, also known as the Bon Festival, is one of the largest celebrations held in Japan and takes place during the seventh month of the year, typically from the 13th through the 15th. Depending on the region and which kind of calendar is being followed—the solar or lunar calendar—celebrations are held in either July (Shichigatsu Bon) or August (Hachigatsu Bon).

Vu Lan Festival: How to Celebrate the Hungry Ghost Festival in Vietnam

Debby Wong · 16 Aug 2021

Vu Lan, Yulanpen, Hungry Ghost, Trung Nguyen, Parents’ Day, or Vietnamese Mother’s Day – there are many names for this festival that takes place on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar in Vietnam.

No matter what you call it, this ancient festival centres around the themes of compassion, gratitude, duty, kindness, and filial piety. It is the second-largest annual traditional festival celebrated in Vietnam after Tet (the lunar new year celebration).
