The three-day Maomiaoji Temple Fair, which kicked off on January 10, has brought vibrant New Year energy to Maomiaoji, a historic street that now serves as a bustling leisure block in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province.
The event featured a variety of activities, including folk performances, displays of intangible cultural heritage crafts, and the distribution of Spring Festival couplets. More than 100 food stalls and preparation areas offered a delicious array of treats, with local specialties proving particularly popular with visitors.
Dating back to the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC), Maomiaoji runs for some 800 meters and is lined with residential buildings showcasing ancient architectural styles. Its rich historical legacy serves as the perfect backdrop for the festive atmosphere.
