As the year comes to a end, Spring Festival tradition that comes from Huaihua starts to shine.

What is the taste of new year in Xuefeng Mountain? It is peacefulness found in sellers’ busy works, and unfulfilled homesickness from cooking smokes.

Making rice cakes, cured meat and noodles are necessary preparations for new year in here.

Amusement derived from these busy works is a testimony of happiness in these quite villages.

Many villages organized by Tong people are friendly toward tourists. Drinking is a common expression of hospitality. Usually, villagers set a stop for guests who want to enter the village, and guests have to finish all the drinks given by villagers. Moreover, dragon dance in Hongjiang has been continued for two thousand years. Also, it is a local cultural symbol.
