Co-organized by Henan Fujing Eco-tourism Development Co., Ltd., Henan Provincial Tourism Culture Association, Music Broadcast of Henan Radio and Television Station, and Zhengzhou Huiji District Tourism Bureau, it will be grandly held at the Yellow River Landscape Ecological World from February 16 to March 3, 2018. Calling the festival “Henan-Taiwan Custom Year” is to enhance cultural exchanges between the two places. With various customs of Taiwan being brought to Zhengzhou, people can enjoy it in their own city. Three carefully-prepared highlights will appear during the period of “Henan-Taiwan Custom Year”.

First is to appreciate the “Style of Taiwan”. There is a “Maiden of Alishan” in everyone’s heart. “Princess Peach”, a well-known Taiwanese actress will cooperate with actors in mainland China to perform a classic Taiwanese show “Weiya” (a traditional annual celebration for the earth god). A variety of performances will also appear, including Pear Garden Spring Little Winner, National Intangible Cultural Heritage, and various local programs. Meanwhile, the rare “Transformers” in China will be invited to give a welcoming performance. During the period, a part of Taiwanese in Zhengzhou will also be invited to celebrate the New Year together.

Then it is to enjoy the “Taste of Taiwan”. What are the delicious foods in Taiwan? And what do they taste like? Fine foods like Ta-a Noodles, Oyster Omelets, Taiwanese Three-Cup Chicken, and Roti Prata are about to tickle everyone’s taste buds.

The last one is to celebrate the “Taiwan-style New Year”. What are the customs in Taiwan? What auspicious words of congratulations will people say during the New Year Festival? How are the beautiful clothes? All of them will be revealed at that time.
