The festival provided a platform for a mixture of tradition and modernity, such as hanfu, the traditional attire of the Han ethnic group, clay models of modern characters, and folk songs accompanied by ancient instruments.

The three-day event also attracted a group of expats. They were impressed by displays of ICH items such as paper-cutting, shadow puppetry, wood carving, embroidery, and more.
