Quickly hang another red lantern here: This conductor decorates the express train from Guiyang to Chengdu. The occasion was the traditional Laba festival, which was celebrated yesterday, Monday. This day is dedicated to the harvest of the past year. An important part is the consumption of Laba oatmeal (腊八粥, làbāzhōu).
