Huachao Festival, referred to as Huachao for short, is one of the eight folk festivals in China. Commonly known as “Flower God Festival”, “Hundred Flowers Birthday” and “Flower God Birthday”. During the festival, people go to the suburbs together to enjoy the flowers, which is called “outing”, and girls cut five-color paper and stick it on the flower branches, which is called “enjoying the red”. There are also customs such as “putting on lion flowers” and “putting out magic lanterns” in various places.
