Buying new clothes for the Spring Festival is often one of the important New Year goods people buy. Recently, in the New Year goods market of Guangnan County, Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, various ethnic costumes and handicrafts have become unique and popular New Year goods.

In Liancheng Central Market, Guangnan County, Wenshan Prefecture, various traditional ethnic costumes and exquisite ethnic handicrafts in the shop are popular with customers. Many customers try on new clothes in the shop and choose to buy their favorite ethnic costumes.

"We all need to buy new clothes for the Spring Festival. We are Zhuang people, and we need to wear our own national clothes. The women in our village also need to wear the same style. The Spring Festival is a happy occasion, and we feel happy. It's cheaper for everyone to buy together." Lu Yulan said happily.

Every Spring Festival, ethnic costumes become a must for the masses. Local ethnic minority people need to buy ethnic costumes as New Year gifts, so that colorful colors can add flavor to the New Year. He Zhixian, a merchant who has operated ethnic costumes for more than 10 years, said that her business is best before the Spring Festival every year. She is busy every day from morning to night. Her ethnic costumes are purely handmade, with novel designs, and are favored by local people.

In addition to the hot sales of Zhuang clothing, Zhuang accessories also attract everyone. Headscarves, aprons, silver ornaments and other items are on the shelves. These accessories are bright in color, unique in national characteristics and full of creativity, attracting many customers to choose.
