With the SCO Summit landing in Tianjin, something special is happening beyond politics: a vibrant cultural festival! 🌟
From Pakistan, Zoon Ahmed Khan dives into the world of Yangliuqing Woodblock New Year Prints 🖼️🎨. Each print packs centuries of history—bold colors, symbolic brushes, and the festive spirit of Chinese New Year all wrapped into one. It’s like discovering an ancient meme that’s still totally viral today!
Meanwhile, Salionova Alina from Russia gets hands-on with Clay Figure Zhang figurines. These tiny sculptures capture folk tales, daily life scenes and legends in bright, playful detail. It’s art you can almost feel in your fingertips—every fold of clay tells a story.
And what’s a cultural trip without tasting local flavors? Our guests sip Tianjin’s famous jasmine tea 🍵—a fragrant tradition that’s both elegant and comforting. One whiff transports you to small tea stalls on a busy street, sipping warmth and history in every drop.
These encounters show how Tianjin’s intangible heritage is all about creativity, resilience and shared values. Under the SCO banner, art and tea become bridges that link nations, spark curiosity and deepen understanding—proof that culture speaks a universal language!
