The most eye-catching part of the fair was the wide variety of foods, from diverse kinds of cakes to bacon and sausage. The event also featured all sorts of traditional handicrafts of intangible cultural heritages, such as Guangzhou olive kernel carving and Foshan lion head making. What's more, famous calligraphers wrote Spring Festival couplets and Chinese character '福' (literal meaning 'blessing') for visitors at this fair.
