Step into a living museum of tradition as Tianjin, China’s northern gem, rolls out the red carpet for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit! 🎉 International visitors are diving headfirst into the city’s vibrant heritage, swapping selfies for hands-on workshops in kuaiban (think rhythmic storytelling meets beatboxing 🎤) and crafting sessions with legendary artisans.
From Cai’s Tribute Feather Duster—a delicate dance of craftsmanship—to Kite Wei’s sky-high masterpieces ✈️ and Clay Figure Zhang’s pint-sized sculptures, Tianjin is turning diplomacy into a cultural blockbuster. 🎨 "It’s like TikTok meets time travel," laughed one participant, shaping clay alongside fourth-generation artisans.
As the SCO Summit 2025 approaches, this fusion of ancient skills and global connection proves culture isn’t just preserved—it’s performed, shared, and remixed for a new generation. 🌍✨
