Viral Pig-Slaughter Invite Overwhelms Chongqing Village as Host Tells Visitors Not to Come

Local officials intervened to keep order after a village feast swelled far beyond expectations.

Overview

  • On Jan 9, Douyin user Daidai posted a plea for help slaughtering two pigs for a Lunar New Year feast, sharing her address and promising a home-cooked meal.
  • The post drew massive turnout, with reports citing more than 10,000 visitors over two days and traffic jams stretching about 10 km to Qingfu village.
  • Food demand quickly outpaced supply, and five pigs were ultimately slaughtered to serve a rotating crowd of over 3,000 people, leaving some visitors unserved.
  • Local authorities and restaurants stepped in by donating pigs, dispatching catering teams, distributing gifts and free tourist tickets, and deploying traffic police.
  • By Jan 13, Daidai thanked volunteers, reported exhaustion after little sleep, and asked would-be visitors to stay away as the multi-day celebration wound down.
