In the exhibition hall experience zone, hands-on activities drew large crowds. At the traditional rubbing art booth, carved woodblocks and printed samples were laid out for display. Guests and visitors observed demonstrations and tried the craft themselves, gaining a firsthand feel for the artistry of ancient Chinese printing techniques. At the calligraphy station, with brushes, ink and red paper prepared, local participants picked up brushes to write Chinese characters, immersing themselves in the elegance of Chinese calligraphy. The pitch-pot (Touhu) game area also attracted long lines; participants took turns aiming arrows at the bronze pot, enjoying the lighthearted fun of this traditional Chinese folk game in a cheerful, interactive atmosphere.

As a signature highlight of the event, the Global Youth Peony Painting Collection Campaign made its debut. A peony-themed promotional video was screened on site, and Ms. Ma Xiaoyan, Chinese Director of the Confucius Institute at North South University, shared with the audience the profound cultural heritage and auspicious symbolism of Heze peony. She issued an open invitation to all guests and participants to create peony-themed artworks, encouraging people from all backgrounds and youth communities to join the collection and use paintbrushes as a bridge to share cultural appreciation.
