Guangxi's Sanyuesan Festival, featuring the region's fine arts and intangible cultural heritage, made a splash on Sunday at Ditan Park in Beijing.
The event was organized by the Guangxi Culture and Tourism Department, the Beijing Office of the People's Government of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and the Nanning Municipal People's Government.
Sanyuesan, which refers to the third day of the third month in the Chinese lunar calendar, is a traditional festival for the Zhuang ethnic group of Guangxi. It's celebrated with diverse activities including embroidered ball throwing, antiphonal singing, sparkler-grabbing, bamboo pole dancing, and lusheng performances.
The Sanyuesan Festival this year will see myriad ethnic cultural activities, such as the Guangxi-ASEAN National Costume Show, the China-ASEAN Intangible Cultural Heritage Week, a symphony concert and a folk singing competition in Liuzhou.
During the festival, cultural projects of ASEAN countries and other provinces in China will land in Guangxi for display and cultural exchange. Tourists at home and abroad can all come to participate in the activities and experience in person the charm of Guangxi and its culture.
