While some of the traditions and customs for the Spring Festival have been fading away among urban citizens, in Xitang, a watertown renowned for its wandering rivers and time-honored architecture, people still perform grand traditional ceremonies to celebrate this most important festival.

Sandwiched between Shanghai and Hangzhou, the two most bustling modern cities in China's east coast, Xitang has succeeded in preserving all the old regimens needed for an ancient style Spring Festival celebration, which has helped to usher in a tourist boom in this tiny town. (Source: China.org.cn)
