From May 1 to 5, a series of Gaoyi farming culture activities will be held. Distinctive welcoming ceremonies will take place, including welcome drums, lanmen wine, bamboo pole dancing, and Nuo dance flash mobs. The Xiazhai Ancestral Hall performances and an intangible cultural heritage market will open simultaneously. The farming experience area will offer activities such as catching chickens and ducks, "muddy water fishing" (catching fish in muddy water), and fun crayfish fishing. In addition, there will be a farming-and-reading themed fashion show, a bonfire beer festival, and more. Visitors can use "Gaoyi silver notes" for purchases and take part in a fun mud-pig catching competition to win surprise gifts.
