By hannover-web.com During the National Day holiday, we observed a significant trend in rural and ancient town tourism, characterized by various intangible cultural heritage activities that provided visitors with rich cultural experiences across the country.
In Sichuan, Luocheng Ancient Town was a sight to behold, with its streets decorated by fluttering national flags, which created an exhilarating festive atmosphere. The ancient streets still resonate with cultural elements from the Ming and Qing dynasties, offering a glimpse into the heart of old Sichuan. This holiday, traditional performances like the Luocheng Qilin Lantern, along with martial arts and Sichuan opera shows, drew in numerous tourists.
One visitor shared, “I feel a very original vibe here. There’s a truly ancient charm to the place.”
Moving to Jiangxi, performers of the tea-picking opera engaged with visitors on Caijing Street in Wentang Town, vividly depicting the story of “Sun Cheng Fighting for Wine” from the Gao’an tea-picking opera.
By introducing immersive street performance projects, the scenic area enabled visitors to engage with the storylines on a deeper level through role-playing, while also experiencing the artistic allure of traditional opera firsthand.
An attendee expressed, “The interaction and experiential aspects of this performance were quite strong. I hope to see more folk culture programs in the future.”
