Over 40 Harvard University students took a deep dive into China's rich intangible cultural heritage this Wednesday in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. 🎓✨
Dressed in elegant traditional Chinese attire, they didn't just observe—they became part of the culture! 👘 From intricate embroidery to flowing silk robes, the students experienced the beauty of ancient fashion firsthand.
But the cultural journey didn't stop there. They rolled up their sleeves and tried their hand at woodblock printing, an art form dating back centuries. 🖌️ The satisfying clack of the blocks and the reveal of inked designs brought smiles all around.
\"It's amazing how these traditions are still alive and shared with us,\" one student exclaimed. \"I feel connected to a history that's so much bigger than myself.\" 🌏❤️
The bustling city of Hangzhou, known for its picturesque West Lake and rich history, provided the perfect backdrop for this immersive experience. 🏞️ The visit highlights how cultural exchanges can bridge gaps and create unforgettable memories.
Here's to embracing new cultures, making new friends, and the adventures that bring us all a little closer together! 🌟🤗
