To enhance international students' understanding and appreciation of traditional Chinese culture, Zhangdian District's Keyuan Subdistrict recently organized the “Experience Zibo“ cultural immersion event at Lijingyuan Community. Through hands-on folk culture activities, international students had the opportunity to discover the unique charm of China's traditional heritage while experiencing the distinctive local customs of Zibo.

The event was filled with a vibrant atmosphere as international students enthusiastically participated in various cultural experiences: crafting distinctive mugwort bouquets while learning about the plant's symbolic meaning of warding off evil and inviting blessings in Chinese tradition; carefully folding bamboo leaves, filling them with glutinous rice, and tying them with colorful strings under volunteers' guidance - each uniquely-shaped zongzi representing their exploration of traditional culinary culture; listening to Hanfu enthusiasts vividly explain the evolution of this traditional attire, then trying on the exquisite garments with volunteers' assistance to appreciate the distinctive charm of Chinese dress, capturing these precious moments in memorable photographs.
