Among the audience, a little girl named Feifei, who was just over one year old, sat in her stroller and couldn’t help but dance along to the music, looking so adorable. Feifei’s grandparents told the reporter that their family lives in Chengdu, and during the National Day holiday, they brought their grandchild to the EXPO to experience the horticultural culture and festive atmosphere.
