Folk arts

Embroidery, paper-cutting, bandhnu (special dying), kite making, porcelain making, folk music, folk festivals, traditions of different nationalities in China; Where do the festivals come from? What are the tips to appreciate them? Where can you find them? We will lead you to explore all these.






We organize Minority Costumes and Fabric Workshop and other folk-arts activities from time to time. In the minority costumes and fabric workshop, the costumes, fabrics, motifs and accessories of different minorities will be presented with samples, pictures as well as their histories and locations, traditions and religions.


We will cover Tibetan, Bai, Yi, Dai, Miao, Naxi, Lisu and Dulong ethnic groups. This workshop will give you vivid ideas of the minorities' lives and specific cultures in Yunnan through an unusual approach.

If you have time and are interested in learning some embroidery techniques, our embroidery expert can also give you One-on-one Embroidery Class, which covers different styles of embroidery skills in China.
