Touch of simplicity and warmth to the festival

#chillandthrill In wuzhen, the spring festival celebration of the Jiangnan people is always so lively. As winter sets in, the chill in the air grows stronger, but the warmth of daily life is spreading through the streets and alleys. For thousands of years, the water town residents, living either by the water or facing the streets, have adapted to their environment. During the Spring Festival, they hold a variety of activities along the waterways and streets. The combination of the water town and the ancient town adds a touch of simplicity and warmth to the festival. The water market is perhaps the most vibrant place in Wuzhen. This year, the "Spring Festival Long Table Banquet" in the Year of the Snake was held along the Tea Art Street in the West Scenic Zone, featuring carp-shaped lanterns and a hundred tables laid out. In old times, making lanterns, admiring lanterns, and competing with lanterns were major events for celebrating the Spring Festival in winter. This tradition has been passed down to this day. During the Spring Festival, people often walk across the market river bridge with lanterns in hand for good fortune.
