To most of people, having a New Year’s Eve dinner is the most importing thing for family’s reunion. However, to Tujia people in Zhangjiajie, what counts most is not the New Year’s Eve dinner but the New Year’s breakfast which is one of customs of Tujia people spending Spring Festival. On the eve of New Year, journalist of CCTV program “Holiday Observation•Attention on Folk Tourism” went into Wulingyuan District in Zhangjiajie and recorded unique custom of Tujia New Year in Zhangjiajie by taking Tang Wei and his family’s preparation of Tujia New Year’s breakfast, who is the host of Guanshanyue Hotel in Xibu Street, as the principal line , and meanwhile enjoyed bacon with passionate, simple-minded Tujia people and domestic and foreign tourists who lived in this hotel at the very day.
In recent years, Zhangjiajie folk travel has become a great important part in building world top brand of travel. More and more overseas and domestic tourists have showed more special preference to folk custom of Zhangjiajie than its unique natural scenery.
