In Xian, Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, there is a folk song: "On the 3rd, 6th, and 9th days of the lunar calendar, people gather at Jiaodai. Half a catty of beef, half a catty of wine, everything you need for eating, drinking, and dressing."
This video records the grand scene of Jiaodai Fair, the largest and most lively fair in Xian with a history of hundreds of years. On the first market day after the Lunar New Year, private cars and tourist buses filled Jiaodai Town, with visitors coming from Xian City, 40 kilometers away, or the nearby Bailuyuan Film and Television Base. Curious tourists and city dwellers come to Jiaodai Fair to leisurely stroll through the market and taste local snacks. There are many unique local delicacies in Lantian, such as old sugar, rotten beef, scallion pancakes, flower cakes, buckwheat noodles, potato cakes, steamed cakes, red bean rice, and sugar cakes. Visitors can experience the rich local flavor of the Qinling Mountains and feel the lively atmosphere of Jiaodai Fair. The distinctive market culture of the Guanzhong region makes tourists feel amazed and reluctant to leave.
