Description: A huge crowd of people throngs in and out of Jinli Ancient Street as they attend Chengdu’s most popular temple fair during the Spring Festival period. The traditional red lanterns most commonly seen during the New Year period are present but are joined by an array of colors, as row upon row of multicolored lanterns illuminate the pathways down which people slowly push past one another as they work their way towards the food sellers, in order to taste Sichuan’s local cuisine. But for real authenticity, tourists and locals alike eat spicy Sichuan hotpot, accompanied by symbols of good fortune, such as the character ‘fu’, meaning luck, which is often turned upside down so as to symbolize increased fortune for the year ahead.
