"Knock knock! "Knock knock! On February 2, in the Liangjinshan service area of Kaiyang Expressway, a noisy gong and drum sound attracted the attention of passing passengers, only to see four "lions" of different colors and two golden "dragons" accompanied by drum music into the crowd, tumbling and jumping, circling and dancing, and the passengers continued to applaud.
This is one of the activities of "overseas Chinese" to see "intangible cultural heritage" carried out by Kaiyang Expressway under Guangdong Provincial Communications Group in Liangjinshan Service Area, "Overseas Chinese Cultural Characteristic Service Area", showing intangible cultural heritage skills and inheriting overseas Chinese culture.
Watching the simple, lively and lovely "lion dance" and "dragon dance" performances, tourists took pictures one after another. These vivid and beautiful "lion heads" and "dragon bodies" are made by provincial intangible cultural heritage of Guangdong Province, and the products are sold at home and abroad, which are the representative works of the Southern Lion school. Accompanied by the inspiring sound of lion birds, passengers strolled through the Liangjinshan service area, felt the overseas Chinese culture that can be seen everywhere in the service area, and purchased Kaiping's special agricultural products and intangible cultural heritage souvenirs. This is one of the measures taken by the expressway service area to focus on the "Millions of Projects" and actively explore the integration of new business formats of "agriculture, culture, tourism and commerce", which effectively drives local economic development.
Eat dumplings! After the end of the dragon and lion show, a series of performances such as Sichuan opera face changing and modern magic made the scene very lively, and the tourists were addicted and applauded. In a warm atmosphere, the volunteers of Kaiyang Expressway prepared more than 200 hot handmade dumplings and distributed them to the passengers present.
It's beautiful, delicious and fun," Mr. Huo from Liaoning Province passed through the Liangjinshan service area for the first time and encountered the beauty of intangible cultural heritage on the expressway, and couldn't help but admire. The atmosphere of the whole service area is warm and the flavor of the New Year is strong.
The expressway service area has always been an important window for the exhibition and sale of local culture, tourism resources, famous and special commodities, and the intangible cultural heritage is invited into the service area for display, which is another measure to fully implement the new cooperation model of 'agriculture, culture, tourism and business', and is also to continuously meet the people's needs for better travel. The person in charge of Kaiyang Expressway said.
It is reported that a convenient service area was also set up at the event site to provide drivers and passengers with services such as sightseeing strategy consultation, recommendation of special agricultural products, promotion of traffic safety knowledge, and promotion of the "Guangdong Pass" travel service platform, so that the majority of passengers can enjoy a safe, convenient and warm Spring Festival.
