It is a tradition to buy Huichun (also known as Spring Festival couplets) and paste it on the door before Spring Festival. In Chancheng, there is a unique Huichun Street with festive New Year atmosphere. With the festival coming, many citizens and tourists come to buy Huichun and groceries on the street.

Huichun Street, located in surrounding areas of Kuaizi Road and Songfeng Road, attracts a large number of folk calligraphers to write Spring Festival couplets every year.

Buying handwritten Spring Festival couplets in Huichun Street is a traditional Spring Festival custom of Foshan citizens. Many citizens say that although modern technology can print more novel Spring Festival couplets, handwritten couplets are more spiritual.

Huichun as well as lanterns and paper-cuts represent peoples expectations for the upcoming New Year. A series of Spring Festival ornaments are decorating the old streets with festive atmosphere of New Year.

On Songfeng Road, the 500-meter-long old street is decorated in red, which is festive and lively.

With the Year of the Ox approaching, citizens can buy various ox-related decorations on Huichun Street. Compared with the traditional handwritten Spring Festival couplets sold in Kuaizi Road, couplets in Songfeng Road are more lively and trendy, which are favored by young people.
