A viral video featuring a little girl from Taiwan, who goes by the nickname "little danggui", or "little Angelica" expressing her desire to visit the recent popular tourist city of Harbin in Heilongjiang province, has gained widespread popularity online. Mainland netizens warmly welcomed her to come and visit.

Recently, going to Northeast China to experience the charm of ice and snow has become a hot trend, attracting many tourists from the southern parts of China. They have been affectionately dubbed "nanfang xiaotudou" or "southern spuds" due to their relatively small stature compared to people in the north.

This cute nickname has sparked discussions and a trend among netizens from different regions using local characteristics to refer to themselves.

In the recent trending video, the Taiwanese girl and her mother have an interesting conversation. When the girl expresses her desire to visit Harbin, her mother tells her that she would be called "little pineapple", which is a specialty of Taiwan.

However, the girl responds: "Daddy said I am not little pineapple, but little danggui." The pronunciation of danggui sounds similar to Chinese characters that contain the meaning of "should return", and angelica is often humorously used by netizens to express the sentiment that Taiwan should reunify with the mainland.
