Immersive and fun activities
Guzheng playing
A guzheng teacher will immerse you in the rhythm of the guzheng and teach you how to play the guzheng. Here you can not only enjoy, but also play by yourself!
Calligraphy and painting
Calligraphy is a traditional art unique to Chinese characters, mainly based on writing Chinese characters with a brush. Chinese painting featured at the event will also be the traditional form of Chinese painting. We will provide brushes and rice paper.
Tea drinking
There are many people who love tea, but few people who understand tea. We’ve asked an expert young lady to teach us the tea art, you can also try the tea for yourselves!
Hanfu costume wearing
Those who are interested in Hanfu culture can come here to change into Hanfu clothes and time travel in a foreign country! We will also provide Polaroid photography services on-site, so you can go home with great photos.
