The 2024 Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Fair is being held until December 18. With a history spanning over 200 years, it is one of the most anticipated annual folk cultural events in Zhongshan. This year, the 188-meter "Lucky Dragon" set the Shanghai China Guinness Record as the "Longest Dragon Installation Made of Flowers".

On December 12, Mr Behzad Babakhani, consul general of Canada in Guangzhou, visited the event, where he admired the chrysanthemums and immersed himself in the rich cultural heritage of the city. "The cultural exchanges are such an important part of the bilateral relationship between Canada and China," said Behzad Babakhani.
