There is a variety of performances and parades in every street and lane in Pingyao during the festival, which surely adds color to the events of the festival, The forums, workshops, bars and tea houses are good venues for people to exchange views. The inhabitants of Pingyao seem to have regarded the festival, now into its third edition, as an increasingly inalienable part of their life, as photography and the festival are slowly, imperceptibly transforming their life.
