The Twelfth Lunar Month is the final month of the traditional Chinese calendar. In traditional Chinese culture, it is a highly significant month that signals the approach of the Spring Festival and the start of preparations for bidding farewell to the old year and ushering in the new.
In Guangdong, the twelfth lunar month brings no bitter cold or heavy snow—only its own distinct scenery and traditions.
At this time of year, Guangdong enjoys crystal-clear skies. In the warm sunlight, flowers and greenery flourish, and the woodlands are alive with color and energy.
On the branches hang fruits unique to Lingnan's winter; under the eaves, savory Cantonese-style preserved pork sways gently.
Whether in cities or rural villages, the festive spirit of the Spring Festival fills the air across Guangdong. It reflects the people's love of life, as well as their heartfelt hopes and wishes for the year ahead.
