Tourism growth makes Heping a holiday hot spot

Visitors packed the narrow, cobblestone lanes of ancient Heping town in early February.

Located in East China's Fujian province, Heping turned into a tourism hot spot during the Spring Festival holiday, which took place last week.

Some posed for photos with ancient buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), while others were busy purchasing local specialties and snacking at the food stands on the streets.

People had to be really careful to not step on others' feet while taking in the pastoral charm of the town.

Throughout Heping, lion dances, drum beating and ghost-repelling shows were demanding visitors' attention.
