Review for: [Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience] DIY Handmade Workshop
I participated in the Terracotta Army and paper-cutting activities. Xi'an is an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. The activity was carefully taught, and the teacher explained in detail the development history of the two activities and related history. As a tourist in Xi'an, I felt it was very meaningful to be able to personally create my favorite cultural activities. The location instructions were clear, and the center was well-maintained and clean.
