Imagine walking through a vibrant celebration frozen in time 🕰️ – that’s the magic of Xunxian County’s ancient temple fair in China’s Henan Province! With roots stretching back 1,600 years, this cultural extravaganza is like a living museum of Spring Festival traditions. 🏮
Why This Fair Feels Like a Time Machine
This year’s event bursts with folk dances, handmade crafts, and local operas that’ll make your TikTok feed look bland. 🎭 Visitors can taste jiaoyan pepper – a spice so legendary it’s been traded here for centuries – and watch artisans craft paper cuttings sharper than your latest Instagram filter. ✂️
More Than Just a Party
Dubbed a “living fossil” of Chinese New Year culture, the fair bridges ancient rituals with modern joy. 🌟 As CGTN’s Zhou Yixin reports, it’s where grandparents share stories with Gen Z travelers snapping Boomerangs – proving traditions can outlast any trend.
