Still wondering where to find the festive spirit for Chinese New Year? Come to Fujiabian in Lishui, and I was completely blown away by the New Year's feast here—"Celebrating the New Year at the Source of the Qinhuai River, with Intangible Cultural Heritage Dragon Dances!" This spectacle is absolutely the pinnacle of immersive New Year celebrations! The first wave of excitement comes from bringing intangible cultural heritage to life! The highlight is definitely the "Helinfang Dragon Dance"! On January 24th, follow the dragon's trail through the park, from Tianrun Orchard to Meihuashan Lane, then to Yueye Campsite, Yuyuan Garden, and finally to a fixed performance at Meihua Square. Witness the "Number One Dragon Dance in Jiangnan" tumbling and dancing before your eyes, the drums thundering, the dragon's body shimmering—that century-old spirit instantly ignited the entire venue! Even children can try their hand at dragon dancing, looking incredibly proud. There's also playing five-piece games, opera performances, waist drumming… the sounds of New Year's drums are the New Year's background music etched into our DNA. The second layer of joy is shopping for New Year's goods at the "Meihao Market"! Visiting the market is the real deal for celebrating the Lunar New Year! The massive "Fujiabian Meihao Market" inside the Agricultural Science Museum is a one-stop shop for all your New Year's goods. Honglan specialties and Lishui delicacies are piled high: fresh agricultural products, Lishui strawberries, fragrant wines, creative cultural and creative items… Browse and sample as you go, and your hands will soon be full of bags. The most heartwarming thing is that calligraphers are on-site writing Spring Festival couplets and giving away "Fu" (good fortune) characters; the aroma of ink mingles with the scent of dried goods—it's just right! The third layer of satisfaction is a culinary extravaganza! The outdoor plum blossom plaza is bustling with activity: sizzling skewers, glistening candied hawthorns, and the sweet aroma of roasted chestnuts fills the air… Children's laughter echoes as they play ring toss and pop balloons. If you get cold, head to the first floor of the management committee building for a hot pot of medicinal herbs or a nourishing pork stew—warm and comforting. Enjoy a hot coffee in Yuyuan Garden while watching the plum blossoms bloom outside the window—pure bliss! Experience the surprises and immerse yourself in traditional New Year customs! Here, the New Year traditions aren't just for watching, they're for playing! Watch as the oil is frying New Year's goods until golden and piping hot; observe the drying of ponds for fishing and experience the joy of a bountiful harvest; you can even buy a "New Year's pig" or fresh fish to bring home the most authentic New Year's flavor. At Yueye Campsite, there are also lawn concerts, fireworks displays, and sky lantern prayers—the romance level is off the charts! 【Travel Tips】 📍 Key Locations: Shishanxia Camping Base, Luoshan Fireworks Camping Park, Li'an Farm 📅 Dates: January 31 - February 1, 2026 (All day Saturday and Sunday) This weekend, stroll through the traditional folk market at Shishanxia, ​​where red lanterns illuminate smiling faces and the aroma of Spring Festival couplets and auspicious characters fills the air; head to Luoshan Fireworks Camping Park, gather around a bonfire, and spend a warm winter night with music and fireworks; then, visit Li'an Farm to watch a traditional horse lantern opera performance, where the resounding drumbeats and flowing lantern shadows transport you back to a bygone era of Chinese New Year.

I want to come to the Evergrande Hotel, which is not located in the city, but is still a short distance from the main city. This also provides conditions for the hotel's spacious and comfortable environment. The hotel's own building and the surrounding environment, even if you do not go to the scenic area to play, stay in the hotel for a few days, stroll around, and still look at the scenery. The hotel's hot springs have different pools, varying in size and function. On this day, I spent a pleasant time in the hotel. I went to the wellness center for a swim in the morning and went to the hot spring in the afternoon. I didnt hurry and enjoyed the day when my body was completely cleared.
