The Huairou Guochao Culture Festival has opened, with performances every day during the National Day holiday

Today, I visited the Yanqi Lake to enjoy the Huairou Guochao Culture Festival. It's a lively cultural festival where I listened to multi-ethnic performances, followed the trend of national style fashion, tasted the special long-table feast of ethnic minorities, and strolled through the deep mountain market. 🌟 There are Miao, Buyi, Dong, Yao, and Mongolian ethnic groups from Guangxi, Guizhou, and other places. There will be performances every day during the National Day holiday, so friends who like Guochao can come and have fun.
