Nanxiang xiaolong, or steamed dumplings, are famous throughout China.
On the morning of September 28, there will be a long table placed on Nanxiang Old Street, inviting visitors to bite into these juicy buns.
During the festival, there will be a competition among the dumpling shops.
The visitors should locate the designated shops with the help of GPS on their mobile phones. Then they can sign in there and enjoy a favorite price.
After trying steamed dumplings at different shops, they can vote for their favorite on weibo.
The organizer will then select the top four shops based on popularity, quality, food safety and shop credibility.
Unwind in Guyi Garden
Guyi Garden is famous in southern China, mainly because of its vast bamboo forest, and autumn just happens to be the best season to appreciate bamboo.
Until October 30, Guyi Garden will host a bamboo cultural festival that will provide visitors with bamboo bonsai, bamboo arts and even bamboo cuisine.
Chinese culture is intertwined with this incredibly versatile substance.
Find the dragon
There are dragon patterns everywhere in Nanxiang, including those on the old wells, towers and bridges.
There are even more on old buildings.
When wandering along Nanxiang Old Street, visiting the twin pagodas or private gardens, you can take pictures of dragon patterns with your handsets and participate in the "Finding the Dragon" contest on weibo to win a special souvenir.
