Millions-Followed Influencers Recommend Liuzhou for Sanyuesan, Showcasing the Festive Joy of the 'Dragon City'

Recently, one place can be said to have 'won it all' because they have a 'festival holiday' that doesn't require adjusting work schedules, leaving netizens from other provinces truly envious—it is Guangxi's Sanyuesan.

Sanyuesan is also known as the Shangsi Festival, an ancient festival for 'ritual cleansing and bathing'. It was on the Shangsi Festival that the 'Sage of Calligraphy', Wang Xizhi, wrote the 'Lantingji Xu', hailed as the 'best running script in the world'. Ethnic minorities such as the Zhuang, Yao, Dong, and Miao in Guangxi have passed down this festival to the present day. Liuzhou, as a representative 'internet-famous city' in Guangxi, holds a series of colorful activities every Sanyuesan, including the Yufeng Folk Song Fair and the King of Folk Song Competition, celebrating with songs, dances, and various unique folk customs.

'Third Sister passed down songs in Liuzhou, the water of Xiaolongtan moistens the singing throat; beside Liyu Peak becomes a sea of songs, folk songs sing on for millennia.'

Folk songs span thousands of years, and Liuzhou is a sea of songs. To attract more people to Liuzhou during Sanyuesan to celebrate the ethnic festival together, the Liuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism organized the 'Guangxi Sanyuesan, Let's Tour Liuzhou' event.
