Troupes paraded along the streets in the performance area, creating distinctive displays of the popular Yingge dance, the dragon and horse dance, local opera, and acrobatics.

Lanterns representing the five themes of people, industry, flowers, blessings, and horses were strung across the streets.

The event is also an opportunity for local businesses to promote products like smart drones, building blocks, textiles and clothing, handicrafts, trendy toys, time-honored brands, and authentic cuisine.

The festival will conclude in late March, according to local authorities.
