A Charity Relay of Blessings: The Millennia-Old Ronggui“Kwun Yum Treasury Opening” Folk Festival Returns with a Twist!

"Lingnan: Beauty Beyond Borders | On the evening of February 22, the #Ronggui "Kwun Yum Treasury Opening" folk festival kicked off with vibrant celebrations. People gathered at #Shunde Bailian Park's Guanyin Hall, where swirling pinwheels glittered like golden sand, carrying simple yet heartfelt wishes. With a thousand-year history, this festival blends tradition and modernity. Starting at midnight, locals and overseas #Chinese alike joined in holding pinwheels, wind chimes, #lanterns, and specially crafted "Kwun Yum Incense" to compete for the first offering—symbolizing "borrowing wealth". Today, the Ronggui "Kwun Yum Treasury Opening" has evolved into a cultural icon, attracting over 200,000 visitors annually and solidifying its place as a cherished tradition in #Guangdong. #SplendidLingnan

2月22日（正月廿五）晚，为期两日的2025年容桂观音开库民俗活动盛大开锣，顺德白莲公园观音堂内外人头攒动，数十万架风车如流动的金沙，照亮朴素愿景。容桂“观音开库”民俗活动距今已有近千年历史。据了解，当日从子时起，一些当地市民以及海外乡亲举风车、风铃、花灯和特制“观音大香”，抢头炷香，向观音祈祷“借库”（粤语中库与富同音），可保佑其财运亨通。至今，容桂“观音开库”民俗活动，每年吸引超20万人次前来。
