On Dec. 30, a Laba Festival-themed activity was held on Shantang Street in Gusu District, which was part of the Grand Canal Gusu Folk Culture Tourism Festival.
The Laba Festival is a major festival in La month (the 12th month on the Chinese lunar calendar), falling on its eighth day. On the Gregorian calendar this year, it falls on Dec. 30. Laba is also regarded as a prelude to the Spring Festival, or the Chinese New Year, as there are only three weeks left before its coming. In many parts of China, people cook Laba porridge as a way of celebration.
