Despite the coming cold air on the fifth day of the Spring Festival holiday, many citizens were attracted by the praying and folk activities launched by various scenic areas to conduct tours to the nearby suburban areas.

The sunny day brought about more people and traffic to some major scenic spots of Ningbo. The 3rd Film & TV Temple Fair was being held at Xiangshan Film & TV City, presenting the tourists with original plays such as Qin Qiong Selling the Horse, shadow plays and bridge tricks, experience of wiring and explosion scenes. A Spring Festival celebration event was also being held in Cicheng Ancient Town of Jiangbei District. Tourists to Cicheng Town had the chance to listen to the traditional Yue Opera, to taste the handmade glutinous rice cakes, to experience such handcraft as window papercut, making Chinese knot, cloth and pottery wares, wooden toys and creative mud shaping, which gave the tourists a special flavor of the new year celebration.
