Step into a world where ancient traditions meet modern fascination! China’s first-ever national exhibition dedicated to intangible cultural heritage has kicked off in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and it’s a vibrant celebration of artistry passed down through generations. 🏮
From delicate paper-cutting that rivals today’s TikTok DIY trends to shadow puppetry that’s basically the OG Netflix, over 100 masterpieces from 11 provinces are on display. Ever seen ‘iron flowers’? Imagine molten metal transformed into glowing floral sparks—yes, it’s as cool as it sounds! 🎇
Highlights include intricate brocade weaving (the kind that makes luxury fashion look basic) and crafts preserving stories from ethnic Uygur, Tibetan, and Mongol communities. This expo isn’t just a showcase—it’s a lifeline for traditions facing modernization pressures.
Perfect for culture buffs, creatives, or anyone craving a deeper dive into Asia’s heritage. Whether you’re planning a future trip or just vibing from home, this expo is a reminder that the past is very much alive. 🌏✂️
