Information on Yangzhou’s 418 International Economic, Trade and Tourism Festival

The origin of 418 is thanks to Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, because he made a free advertisement for our Yangzhou for thousands of years: "My old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March." Fireworks in March are The most beautiful season in Yangzhou is when the peach blossoms are red and the willows are green. After the peach blossoms fade, peonies, viburnums, peonies, hydrangeas, etc. come one after another. Fireworks refer to the flowers of the willow tree - catkins, which are blown by the breeze. Then, catkins were flying all over the sky, like flying snowflakes, casting a mysterious veil over the city of Yangzhou. It was endlessly poignant and shocking! The best place to appreciate the color of this myth is the spring willows on the long embankment of Slender West Lake. The peach blossoms are as bright as the shy little girl's cheeks. The willow trees lean by the water, and the willow branches gently caress the water, adding to the charm!

The fireworks here refer to March of the lunar calendar, which is April in the Gregorian calendar, and April 18th is often the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar, like this year it is the second day of March, so our annual "fireworks" in Yangzhou The March International Economic, Trade and Tourism Festival is scheduled to open grandly on April 18.
