Imagine a cozy Beijing hutong where grandma’s lantern-making skills meet Gen Z’s TikTok dance moves 💃🏮. That’s the magic of Courtyard No. 27, a vibrant community hub featured in an upcoming CGTN documentary! Founded by arts enthusiast Niu Ruixue, this space transforms Beijing’s historic alleyways into a playground for intergenerational connection.
Through quirky programs like 🎭 ‘Inter-generational Cosplay’ and the 300-year-old Lantern Festival revival ‘Myriad of Lights,’ Niu has created what locals call ‘squad goals’ for all ages. Elderly residents teach traditional crafts, while youths bring fresh energy with modern art – proving culture evolves best when generations collaborate!
🏡 Once quiet alleyways now buzz with laughter as tai chi sessions share space with pop-up photo exhibitions. ‘It’s like a cultural time machine,’ says one resident. ‘But with better snacks!’
The documentary drops soon – stay tuned to see how passion projects can turn cities’ oldest corners into tomorrow’s trendiest spots! 🌆✨
