I’ve never heard it called the “dumpling festival” before! I guess that’s because most people associate the word “dumpling” to be “jiaozi.” However, I see on the internet that a lot of people call the festival by the “dumpling” name. I learn something every day!

People like to eat “zongzi” (sticky rice in leaves) on this day. However, zongzi is typically sold throughout the year, with increased production being around Duan Wu Jie.

Bring lots of cash (more than you estimate) cause the stalls can charge whatever they like once you get inside. But remember to have a secure place to keep your wallet.

I think you should also bring shorts incase its sunny, and 3 quarter length throusers incase its cold. Full length trousers can get muddy in even the nicest weather, and you dont want anything that will touch the floor in those pissy wet portaloos.

Bring a hat to stop the top of your head from burning, and to shield your eyes from the sun. Once I was at a festival and I had to buy a hat and sunglasses cause there was literally no shade from the scorching sun for 10 hours or something.

I would appreciate any help that can be given to me. I hate to take a chance on making them and then cooking them the wrong way and it would be a waste of time and money
