Liwan District, which contains a lot of Cantonese culture, has become a concentrated place for young people to play during the festival.

On January 22, Yongqingfang's "Fu Hu ShengWei, Yongqing New Year" New Year series of activities was launched. With the theme of "Yin Hu", this event used the unique architectural style of Yongqingfang and combined traditional culture such as flower market lanterns to show the vitality of Lingnan culture.
Guangzhou Flower Market originated from "Huadutou". This year, the Yongqingfang Spring Festival Event recreates the old scene, and the flower boat experience area is arranged at Yongqing Wharf, where visitors can experience "floating flowers" or board a boat to tour Lychee Bay.

"This skirt is more than 1,000 yuan, which is a little expensive, but in order to come out of the 'stinky beauty' for the New Year, I am still willing to give it up." On January 30, Miss Tang, a 26-year-old playing in Yongqingfang, Guangzhou, pointed to her imitation Ming Dynasty moon dress with its own fringing and hanging yarn, and confidently said, "I am the most fashionable sister on the shores of Lychee Bay in the 28th year." From January 22, Yongqingfang in Guangzhou's Liwan District launched the "Fuhu Shengwei, Yongqing New Year" Spring Festival activity. As tourists gather, it has become a catwalk for many Hanfu lovers to show off their style, and young people dressed in Hanfu can be seen everywhere punching in and taking photos.
With the rise of the national tide culture, Hanfu is favored by young people and has become a new fashion for dressing. Compared with Miss Tang, who has participated in the Hanfu Cultural Festival many times, Xiao Lu, a 23-year-old Guangzhou girl who works as a clerical worker in the company, is a novice who has just entered the circle. On the same day, Xiao Lu, dressed in imitation Song costumes, said that a few years ago, she was very envious when she saw some Hanfu lovers wearing beautiful Hanfu, and after contacting Hanfu, she also learned more and more about the deep national cultural heritage contained in it.
"Interest triggers curiosity. When purchasing Hanfu online, the seller will introduce the dynastic imprints of different costumes, but the content is not specific. So, I began to learn about Hanfu and traditional culture. For example, the shape and texture of Hanfu, the exquisite dress, etiquette, etc. Xiao Lu said that when she first wore Hanfu on the street, she suffered from strange eyes, but now more and more people understand and appreciate Hanfu, and more and more praise is received in Hanfu.
The Hanfu boom has also sparked some controversy. In order to cater to consumers, some Hanfu manufacturers have made fancy refurbishments and cuts of ancient costumes, but due to the lack of archaeological evidence to support the design changes, Hanfu enthusiasts have mixed reviews of this.
"Hanfu lovers are not only to dress themselves up beautifully, but more importantly, the significance lies in inheritance." Miss Wu, a veteran Hanfu enthusiast, is only 21 years old and has a clear attitude towards this. She believes that in the popular Hanfu culture, there is no contradiction between keeping tradition and innovating, and it is recognized by most enthusiasts to adhere to the universal aesthetic standards of the Chinese nation and deduce the improvement of Chinese cultural charm.
Because of this, Miss Wu will be "blamed" by her companions every time she wears Hanfu before going out. "Let them wait for two hours." Miss Wu said that wearing clothing, combing hairstyles, and making makeup, she is very strict about every "process" of wearing Hanfu.
During the interview with the reporter, Miss Wu met another group of Hanfu enthusiasts from different "dynasties". They took out their phones from their sleeves and added friends to each other.
