On September 1, 2024, the grand opening ceremony of the Guangyuan Daughter Festival was held with great pomp. The colorful boat parade vividly recreated the scene of ancient Chinese Empress Wu Zetian cruising along the river bend, with the empress's powerful demeanor portrayed in a lifelike manner. Thousands of citizens and tourists from both domestic and international locations captured or live-streamed the festive atmosphere with their phones, immersing themselves in a sea of joy.

The Guangyuan Daughter Festival is a unique traditional festival in Guangyuan, Sichuan, China, commemorating the era of Empress Wu Zetian. Over 1,300 years ago, Wu Zetian was born in Guangyuan, leaving behind the folk custom of "women cruising the river bend on the 23rd day of the first lunar month." In 1988, Guangyuan City decided to revive this folk tradition, naming it the "Daughter Festival," which is now held annually on September 1st. This year marks its 36th edition.
