Ningbo village filled with Spring Festival vibes
With the fast approaching of the Spring Festival, or Lunar New Year, Hehong village in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, has offered fun for residents and visitors with a collection of traditional activities.
Home to more than 50 residents of age 80 and above, Hehong village in Ninghai county has been billed as the city's "longevity village". With a 1,000-year history, it is also a focal point for traditional Chinese culture and food. Changshougao, or longevity cake, a glutinous rice delicacy, is a specialty.
To celebrate the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on Jan 22 this year, preparing traditional food, writing spring festival couplets and creating paper-cut art, were all seen on Saturday in the village, among other activities.
