The Haiyun'an branch of the 2025 Qingdao Radish, Yuanxiao and Tangqiu Fair kicked off on Sunday in Shibei district of Qingdao, Shandong province.

The fair will conclude on Thursday, the day after Lantern Festival. During the festival, locals eat yuanxiao (or glutinous rice balls) and tangqiu (sugar coated haws) and make lights out of radishes.

Dating back centuries, this event holds a special place as one of the region's most beloved and culturally significant folk traditions.

Offering a diverse range of activities and attractions, the fair attracted large crowds of enthusiastic attendees eager to join the festive celebrations.
