Discover a special showcase presented in collaboration with the Tianjin Museum, featuring rare cultural artefacts and interactive experiences that bring centuries of tradition to life.

Explore the beauty of Yangliuqing woodblock New Year paintings, one of Tianjin's most treasured intangible cultural heritages. Known for their rich storytelling, vibrant colour and intricate craftsmanship, these works combine carving and painting techniques to depict vivid scenes and auspicious themes.

Create a traditional tiger hanging pouch, a meaningful Dragon Boat Festival keepsake. Handmade from fabric scraps and adorned with tassels, these charming ornaments often feature tiger shapes along with zongzi, gourds and other symbolic forms.

Discover the art of foil painting, a traditional metalwork technique using gold and silver foil to create layered, luminous designs. Inspired by Dragon Boat Festival imagery, including dragon boats and folklore themes, this activity blends craftsmanship with storytelling.

Celebrate one of the festival's most iconic traditions by crafting your own bamboo dragon boat. Dragon boat racing has been a central part of the festival for centuries, and this activity brings that heritage to life in a creative, family-friendly way.
