Visitors also have the opportunity to participate in traditional folk games such as stilt walking, tug of war, blindfolded clay pot breaking, and mandarin square capturing.
A booth showcasing “To He” (toy figurines) attracts the attention of foreign visitors.
The festival will run until January 21 and is expected to attract more than 80,000 domestic and foreign visitors.
