Qingyang Sachet Festival | The Northwest's Hidden Gem Market That Drew 100,000 Visitors!

Amidst the sea of sachets, I caught the scent of a thousand years of folk culture...

Just returned from Qingyang, my phone still filled with photos drowning in sachets! This city nestled in the Loess Plateau has elevated intangible cultural heritage to new heights—every street corner adorned with tiger-shaped pillows and zodiac sachets, even the aunt selling cold noodles wears embroidered sachets. Now THIS is true immersive cultural heritage!

🎪 Most breathtaking moments:
Went for the "Epic of the Great Plateau" performance but got completely overwhelmed by the roaring cheers of 40,000 spectators! Felt like time-traveling! Pro tip: The panoramic view from the back rows beats front-row seats (don't ask how I know this hhh)
The sachets will amaze you here, but they're not the only showstoppers—Ning County's woodblock prints, Heshui's dough sculptures, Qingcheng's yellow wine, Zhengning's lanterns, Zhenyuan's paper-cuts... Each heritage craft left me awestruck.

✨ Honestly, there's no influencer filter here, just the aroma of mugwort in the air, where ancient cave murals meet modern light installations, and octogenarians discuss sachet patterns with Gen Z trendsetters... This magical collision of tradition and modernity must be experienced firsthand!

⚠️ Practical tips:

✔️ Take high-speed rail to Qingyang Station, then 20-minute taxi to old town
✔️ Bring mosquito repellent if visiting in June!
✔️ The Sachet Festival happens around Dragon Boat Festival annually

Jostling through 40,000 people to grab sachets, learning to weave sachet bracelets from locals... Suddenly understood that "cultural inheritance" lives in these vibrant human moments! Coming back next year as a "sachet commando"!
