In celebration of Wuxi as a sub-venue of China's renowned Spring Festival Gala, the city has recently rolled out 50 theme bazaars, infusing every street with a festive spirit.
These bazaars present an array of thoughtfully designed products inspired by Spring Festival, ranging from snake-shaped stuffed dolls to ingot-shaped throw pillows. This selection is aimed at fulfilling the gifting and collecting preferences of urban residents.
Beyond the display of these creations, these bazaars exude a delightful fusion of cultural elements, featuring intangible cultural heritage performances, folk shows, and interactive cultural activities.
