'Birthday' noodles honor 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China
The Pudong Library hosted a vibrant noodle celebration on October 1 in honor of National Day.
In Chinese culture, enjoying noodles on one's birthday symbolizes longevity, much like candles on a cake do in Western traditions.
At midday, Pudong residents came together for a noodle-eating event to mark the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
Attendees enjoyed patriotic films and explored a traditional fair showcasing Pudong's rich intangible cultural heritage.
