Print Edition
Jiading’s rich cultural heritage attracted many residents and tourists during the Shanghai Culture Week, which opened in Hong Kong on August 2.
The Jiading District Cultural and Tourism Bureau, a major exhibitor, presented the “Intangible Cultural Heritage Lights Up Life” exhibition.
“I have a keen interest in various intangible cultural heritage projects. When I heard about this exhibition, I rushed over. It’s truly eye-opening, and the experience is fantastic,” said one visitor.
She listened attentively to Zhang Chao, a master of the intricate craft of pressed gold inlay, while admiring the diverse array of heritage crafts displayed before her.
The exhibition, which was free to the public, also showcased Jiading bamboo carving, Xuhang straw weaving, medicinal cloth dyeing, guqin (a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument) making, tea ceremonies and Suzhou embroidery.
Visitors were able to appreciate the unique charm of Jiangnan and Shanghai-style cultures, gaining deeper insights into traditional Chinese heritage at the site.
“Cultural exchange between Shanghai and Hong Kong is boundless,” said Yang Jialu, vice president of the China Shanghai International Arts Festival Center.
More than 200 performers and exhibitors formed the delegation, which also includes the Shanghai Peking Opera Company and Shanghai Museum.
