On April 10th, at Longmen Ancient Street, the “Peony Market, Youthful Blossoms” theme event was full of excitement, offering tourists a spring carnival of national beauty and fragrance.
On the ancient Longmen Street, over 30 exhibition booths and nearly 100 street stalls have come together to form the Peony Market, featuring categories such as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, peony derivatives, and peony-themed delicacies. Here, visitors can personally paint peony fans, make peony sachets, and savor peony pastries, immersing themselves in the peony culture of Luoyang. They can also engage in face-to-face conversations with the owners of small shops, discussing artistic concepts and handicraft techniques, and participating in peony cultural exchanges within the market.
Unlike previous years, this year’s “Peony Market, Flower Youth in Full Bloom” event has transformed from merely allowing visitors to “watch” to inviting them to “step into the scene”. It has created an immersive interactive performance throughout the entire street for tourists – with actors using the ancient street as a natural theater, turning it into a paradise for drama enthusiasts, attracting visitors to participate and experience the saying “life is like a play”.
From the tip of the tongue to the tip of the fingers, from craftsmanship to refined taste, the Peony Market is not only a dynamic display of traditional culture but also a playground brimming with youthful energy. The event organizers extend an invitation to friends from home and abroad, welcoming them to the ancient city of Luoyang to experience the “Floral Youthful Bloom” where the ancient charm of a thousand years meets contemporary creativity in an immersive way!（Reporter Monsanto Correspondent Liyi Jiang yisha）
