At the launching ceremony, 18 new intangible cultural heritage items from Yanqing were announced by local culture and tourism bureau, which include stilt dance, sugar painting, Chen's Taiji boxing, hand knit handicraft and traditional leather carving.
Starting from Jan. 7 to 24, people could experience local intangible cultural heritage in Shixia village and nine other villages in Yanqing, where tourism homestays that combine hotel-standard modern comforts with rustic charms are provided. It is a welcome getaway from the urban hustle. Tourist can also have a bite of an ICH-themed banquet featuring local, time-honored cuisine.
