International lawmakers were all ears and hearts at the Xinjiang Folk Instrument Village in Shufu County this week! 🎶
As part of the 2025 Legislators Forum for Friendly Exchanges, delegates from around the world stepped into the heart of the Chinese mainland to discover how local communities honor and reinvent their musical traditions.
Highlights of the visit included:
- Live performances of ethnic melodies on traditional instruments like the rawap and dutar 🎵
 - Workshops with artisans demonstrating preservation techniques
 - Discussions on sustaining cultural heritage in modern societies 🌍
 
"Witnessing these traditions in action gave us fresh ideas to protect our own cultural roots back home," shared one delegate.
The immersive experience not only celebrated Xinjiang's vibrant artistic legacy but also sparked plans for new cultural projects worldwide. It's a reminder that music and heritage can build bridges across borders! 🌟
