For this session, the original characters "Twelve Flower Fairies + Goddess of a Hundred Flowers" will be introduced to the visitors, along with traditional Chinese-style performances and interactions involving them. Activities such as stamp collecting, Feihualing (飞花令, a game centered on ancient Chinese poems), and pitch-pot will also make this floral celebration even more amazing for visitors.
