Quzhou's New Year Fireworks and Old Dreams

In Quzhou, Zhejiang, there is a place that takes me back in time - the Shuitingmen Historical and Cultural District. During the Spring Festival, stepping into this district is like opening an old book full of stories, with each page exuding a strong sense of the New Year and the charm of history. . As you step into the district, the ancient buildings come into view, with their flying eaves and brackets outlined by the red lanterns, creating a blend of tradition and festivity. The Shuitingmen during the Spring Festival is filled with a lively atmosphere. The streets are lined with red lanterns, like strings of ripe red persimmons, lighting up the smiles on people's faces. The shop signs on the street sway gently in the wind, blending with the shouts and laughter, creating a symphony of the New Year. . The Shuitingmen during the Spring Festival is a feast of food. The steaming hot Quzhou baked cakes are snapped up as soon as they come out of the oven. Take a bite, and the crispy crust wraps around the tender and juicy meat filling, with its unique aroma spreading instantly in your mouth, warming your heart. There are also steaming hot Quzhou duck heads, with their fresh and spicy taste that is irresistible, each bite is an ultimate challenge to your taste buds. On the streets during the Spring Festival, holding a steaming hot delicacy in your hand, feeling the warmth and satisfaction, this is the fireworks of Quzhou. . During the Spring Festival, various folk activities are held in the district. Dragon and lion dance teams shuttle through the streets, with their wonderful performances attracting crowds. The dancers' movements are agile and powerful, with each leap of the lion and each turn of the dragon winning rounds of applause. The craftsmen on the street are also busy, with paper-cutting artists using a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper to create vivid patterns, adding a touch of artistic color to the Spring Festival. . As night falls, the lights of Shuitingmen come on, presenting a different scene. The lights outline the buildings, reflecting in the Qu River, like a dream. Walking along the river, the river breeze caresses your face, carrying the breath of the Spring Festival, making you intoxicated. During the Spring Festival, come to Quzhou Shuitingmen, feel the historical sedimentation in the ancient streets and alleys, taste the joy of the Spring Festival in the lively atmosphere, and leave an unforgettable memory of the Spring Festival.
