Recent visitors to Houhu Lake in Changsha, Hunan province, encountered a vibrant hanfu (traditional Chinese attire) parade and cultural performances during a spring celebration blending tradition with modernity.

The event allowed attendees to take photos with performers dressed as "Flower Deities" and "Floral Fairies" while exploring a themed marketplace featuring intangible cultural heritage crafts, traditional snacks and Chinese-style creative products like oil-paper umbrellas, handheld silk fans and hanfu accessories.
