When the Year of the Rabbit arrives in 2008, people begin to plan to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is the most important item. Eating New Year’s Eve dinner is the most lively and happiest time for every family during the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, a table of sumptuous New Year dishes brings the whole family together to spend a wonderful time. The fulfillment in my heart is really indescribable. In recent years, although New Year's Eve dinners have become more and more abundant, and it has become increasingly difficult to order reunion dinners in big hotels, the "New Year's flavor" has become less and less. We went on a trip during the Spring Festival to have a New Year’s Eve dinner. The New Year's Eve dinners in the north and the south have their own characteristics. In addition to signature dishes, there are also special customs that will definitely make people enjoy an unforgettable New Year's Eve dinner.
Miao villages are layered upon layers.
Other ways to play: Every year from mid-January to the end of February, more than 20,000 acres of wild plum blossoms celebrate the most beautiful flowering period in the forest near Mucao Village in Tongtang, Libo. Walking, savoring the fun of plum blossom appreciation, appreciating the original Yaoshan ethnic customs, or tasting a glass of indigenous plum wine will be a very happy experience.

Let us celebrate the New Year together.
Luoyang: Eat rich "peony" for New Year's Eve dinner.
Characteristics: First, it is famous for its soup, and second, it is like running water from one dish to another.
Signature dish: The long-established Luoyang water banquet is also called official banquet because it imitates the preparation method of official banquet. It consists of 24 dishes, referred to as "38 seats": 8 cold dishes are served first, and the cold dishes are 4 meat and 4 vegetarian. Following the 16 hot dishes, the hot dishes are served in different types of blue and white sea bowls.
Luoyang Peony Banquet is the first dish of Luoyang Water Banquet and is a classic. The dish was originally called "Fake Swallow Dish". It is steamed with Luoyang's local ivory radish, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, egg yolk crisps and other raw materials with special soup. The finished product "Peony Swallow" consists of egg yolk cake sliced ??into thin slices, shaped like peony petals, ivory white radish, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots cut into thin strips, with makeup like stamens. Together they look like an ink painting of "King of Flowers", which is so pleasing to the eye that you can't bear to move. .

New Year’s customs: Today’s Central Plains region still retains the New Year customs of paper-cutting and window grilles during the Spring Festival. After enjoying the unique Luoyang Water Feast, each household will paste their own paper-cuts on their doorways and windows to add to the festive atmosphere. Especially Luoyang West Street, there are firecrackers, candies, jujube cakes and everything else sold everywhere, and the New Year scene is everywhere.
Other ways to play: Temple fairs in the Central Plains region have a strong local flavor. From February 3rd (the first day of the Lunar New Year) to February 9th (the seventh day of the Lunar New Year), the 2011 Spring Festival Luoyang Heluo Culture Temple Fair will be held at the Luoyang Sui and Tang City Ruins Botanical Garden. At the temple fair, you can taste snacks from the north and south and see local cockfighting performances. In addition, from the first day to the 19th of the first lunar month of the Year of the Rabbit, the Guanlin Temple Fair in Luoyang, a national key cultural relic protection unit and a national 4A-level scenic spot, will resume. This event has lasted for thousands of years, but has only been interrupted in recent years.

New Year Customs: Every year from New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival, thousands of Miao villages in Guizhou will Have a special long table feast. Whenever guests come, the Miao people will set off firecrackers, and the beautiful Miao girls will sing nice songs to welcome the guests. The enthusiastic Miao people personally brought tourists to the long table banquet on Yufeng Bridge, brought local specialties to the table, and warmly invited guests to taste it. There is a famous saying in Miao Village: "If you don't eat sour food for three days, you will be upset when walking." Sour food occupies an important part in dishes, such as sour fish, sour pork, sour bird meat, sour pepper, glutinous rice wine, glutinous rice, etc.
During the banquet, the Miao people kept getting up and toasting, singing a toast song: "Cousin, come to toast, cousin, come to drink; if you want to drink, you have to drink. If you don't want to drink, you have to drink." A large pot of specially brewed wine was poured out. I drank more than half of it. The mellow wine and the wonderful drinking songs make people extremely intoxicated.
