January 22 and January 23, 2025, mark the traditional "Little New Year" celebrations in northern and southern China respectively, symbolizing the beginning and prelude to the Chinese New Year festivities.
The bustling towns of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, are alive with the sounds of nearly 100 busy bun workshops. Workers are racing against time to prepare the famous Jinhua red-stamped buns for the festive season.
