This is a folk festival that celebrates customs dating back to the Qing dynasty. Fifty-six ethnic groups exist in China, and the Manchu ethnic group is in the forefront as far as the preservation of tradition is concerned. The restored Museum of the Manchus is visited upon the occasion, and outdoor activities such as archery and horse riding are also organised. For an insight into their creative activities, visit the mask and calligraphy exhibitions, and for a unique culinary experience, visit the food stalls serving authentic local delicacies.
