During the opening of Shanghai Cultural Week in Hong Kong on Aug 2, Jiading district's "Illuminate Life with Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)" exhibition attracted many locals and tourists that were eager to experience the charm of traditional crafts.

A Hong Kong resident surnamed Yang expressed her excitement, saying, "I've always been interested in ICH. This event truly broadened my horizons."

The exhibition showcased Jiading bamboo carving, Xuhang straw weaving, herbal fabric printing, ancient zither crafting, tea art, Su embroidery, and gold-thread inlay. Visitors appreciated the unique charm of Jiangnan and Shanghai-style culture, deepening their understanding of traditional Chinese heritage. The event was free to the public.

Over 200 performers and exhibitors participated in the event, which was held to promote cultural exchanges between Shanghai and Hong Kong.
