On the morning of January 13, the 2024 “Tianmu Village” Longmen Secret Realm Farm Life Festival in Lin’an kicked off in Shimen Village, Gaohong Town. Various traditional Chinese New Year activities like dragon dancing, praying for blessings and brewing allowed tourists to immerse themselves in the flavor of their hometown.

“Long Dong Qiang... Long Dong Qiang...” Early in the morning, the Shengjiang Square in Shimen Village was reechoed with the sound of gongs and drums. A green dragon rolled and circled with the dance of the villagers, attracting cheers from the audience and opening the prelude to the Longmen Secret Realm Farm Life Festival. Later, performances of Love of China and blessing activities of Longmen Secret Brewing took turns to show off the strong flavor of the New Year. In addition to the exciting New Year’s folk performances at the opening ceremony, the old street in Shimen was also decorated with lights and colorful hangings, creating a vibrant atmosphere. There were not only traditional preserved programs such as the “Longmen New Year Pig Feast” and stir fried “Longmen Secret Sauce”, but also novel activities such as traditional popcorn and rice cake making, attracting tourists to stop and watch.

It is learned that the Farm Life Festival also fully explores local traditional culture and intangible cultural heritage products. There are not only long table banquets, inviting tourists to taste local specialty cuisine together, but also traditional games, such as whipping tops and walking on stilts, etc., allowing children to experience the “New Year” culture in a happy atmosphere. “The activities can help the young generation understand what the countryside is like and let them fall in love with the countryside.” The person in charge of Longmen Secret Realm said that the Farm Life Festival will continue until the 15th of the first lunar month, during which a series of activities will be held, such as celebrating Xiaonian, welcoming the God of Wealth and celebrating the Lantern Festival, so as to pass on the rural culture continuously.
