4,000 people share a feast of food and culture in Guangdong

On Feb 29, after seven days of activities commemorating the martyrs (Dapeng Qingjiao) in Dapeng New Area, Shenzhen, Guangdong province, the final day's feast shared by thousands of people - the "General's Feast" – came about.

The "General's Feast", as the name suggests, was originally a banquet hosted by a general. It was held during festivals or after victorious battles; the general would host a feast for the entire city's soldiers and people to celebrate together, hence its name. It has since evolved into a part of the Dapeng Qingjiao, continuing the tradition of city-wide celebration and becoming a large traditional banquet unique to Dapeng New Area.
