Today the festival is held for five days every July and it is the city's biggest event. There are also different activities and events including concerts, rides and games.
The festival is free to get in, but if you want to enjoy the food, you must buy food tickets. And you can use them for taste-size and full-size portions (份). If you want to try as many new taste experiences as you possibly can, ask for a taste-size portion.
