Mid-Autumn Festival

Xinqiao Town is a well-known mooncake town with a long history of mooncake making and many traditional old shops with word-of-mouth reputation.

Mooncake merchant Ye Jiewen said:

"Xinqiao mooncakes are very famous, and every Mid-Autumn Festival, a large number of citizens come to buy them. The packaging of Yanglan mooncakes is specially designed to promote Xinqiao mooncakes while also promoting Xinqiao Yanglan. During this food festival, many people thought that Xinqiao mooncakes tasted very good after trying them, and they sold a lot at once."

Tourist Ms. Yang said:

"I am from Sichuan. Compared with Sichuan mooncakes, Xinqiao mooncakes are more delicate, more fragrant, and more delicious. They are soft and sticky. I am planning to buy some back."

The Yanglan weaving (foreign basket weaving) experience area is also bustling with people. There are a variety of innovative, exquisite and unique Yanglan weaving objects such as flower baskets, handbags, and lanterns, which are dazzling and irresistible.

Seeing that the characteristic handicrafts of Xinqiao Town are very popular, the local people are also smiling.
