Chinese New Year in Weifang is deeply embedded in the city's intangible cultural heritage and grows stronger with each generation. The auspicious snake brings New Year blessings, spreading good fortune to every home. Happy Chinese New Year!

Spring Festival in Weifang is a rich showcase of culture, including the fiery red paper-cutting art. This simple yet elegant art form gained international recognition as early as the last century. 

Yangjiabu woodblock New Year paintings, which originated in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), have a history of over 600 years. They are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and rich content, earning them a place among the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage items. Today, Yangjiabu woodblock New Year paintings are depicted on kites, fans, and lanterns, and calendars. They have even appeared as Yakshas in the popular game Genshin Impact, earning the admiration of many young people.
