The Peninsula Beijing Hotel The Dragon Boat Festival is not yet here, but the scent of zongzi is already in the air

🌿 The Dragon Boat Festival is not yet here, but the scent of zongzi is already in the air. Come to The Peninsula Beijing Hotel to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in advance~ 🎐 Chinese traditional festivals always have their unique charm, with dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, hanging mugwort leaves, and wearing fragrant pouches. The Dragon Boat Festival is a major folk festival that combines worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil, as well as entertainment and food. This time at The Peninsula Beijing Hotel, you can even embroider a lotus mugwort fragrant pouch by hand, which really adds to the Chinese festival atmosphere! 🐉 The intangible cultural heritage inheritor, Ms. Zhu Hong, brought her exquisite Beijing embroidery works and explained in detail the meaning behind traditional costumes and the auspicious significance hidden in those beautiful embroidery patterns. Under her patient guidance, I also completed a lotus fragrant pouch filled with the scent of mugwort, and this Dragon Boat Festival blessing is just so beautiful~ 🍙 At the Huang Ting Chinese restaurant, I also tasted this year's first delicious zongzi, with flavors including crab roe zongzi, egg yolk and fresh meat zongzi, golden silk date zongzi, and red bean paste zongzi. As someone who prefers savory zongzi, the rich and mellow egg yolk meat zongzi, and the crab roe zongzi with hand-pulled crab roe and crab powder, each one was fragrant and hit the spot perfectly; while the sweet date zongzi and the smooth and soft red bean paste zongzi also let me appreciate the charm of sweet zongzi. It turns out that it's not that sweet zongzi aren't tasty, but that I hadn't found the tasty ones yet! 🎋 This year's Dragon Boat Festival gift bag from The Peninsula Beijing is simply too stylish! The bamboo green color is full of fresh and elegant charm, the wooden handle reflects Chinese aesthetics, and the dragon pattern totem symbolizes good fortune and well-being. Unlike those 'too good to throw away' packaging gift boxes, this gift bag matches perfectly with modern Chinese-style clothing~
