Following, visitors immersed themselves in the festive atmosphere at the Xunxian Ancient City and Dapi Mountain, and local delicacies like Liyangzi steamed buns were abundant, showcasing the enduring culinary heritage of Xunxian. This year's Traditional Folk Culture Festival continued to use the theme of "Hometown Henan – Spring Festival in Xunxian."
