During the one-week activity, intangible cultural inheritors gave a live demonstration of craftsmanship and works featuring folk art such as straw weaving, kite making and traditional opera. Residents could not only enjoy the exquisite works, but could also learn skills from artisans.

Since Xuhang is renowned as the “home of straw weaving,” the colorful and exquisite straw weaving works were the most popular with visitors.
