Eating glutinous rice balls in the Lantern Festival is in line with national standards, not a unique diet in Lishui.

Tomb-Sweeping Day eats Qingming fruit, a green plant called Qingming grass mixed with rice flour and made into an egg-shaped or jiaozi-shaped snack.

Eat zongzi or burritos on Dragon Boat Festival.

Eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the winter solstice festival, some rural areas will make sesame cakes: glutinous rice is steamed into rice and then hammered into a paste cake filled with sugar and sesame seeds.
