Beijing's Vibe of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Solar Terms – Start of Autumn

On August 7, we welcome Liqiu (Start of Autumn), the first solar term of autumn. The summer heat still lingers, yet people still welcome the arrival of autumn in a ritualistic way with their food. During this time, there are customs such as "tieqiubiao" (gaining weight in autumn) and "kenqiu" (eating watermelons in autumn).

The "Beijing's Vibe of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Solar Terms", a short video series jointly produced by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and CRI Online, released its episode of "Start of Autumn". This episode will show you the culinary charm of Beijing's intangible cultural heritage through the making technique of Quanjude's hang-roasted ducks.
