Walking through a southern Chinese riverside town with bridges, flowing water and beautiful homes, you'll be lost in the traditional Jiangnan (a region south of the Yangtze River) culture and customs.

Visitors will enjoy colorful folk activities and festive fun, such as people wearing the traditional clothing of China's Han ethnic group, carrying festive lanterns, and raising lotus-shaped lanterns, as well as classic dances of the Han (206 BC-AD 220) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, folk music performances, and face-changing, a feature of traditional Chinese opera that reveals a character's inner thoughts and feelings.

Dates: Jan 25 to 30

Address: Moon River Historic District, Jiaxing
