About this activity
Fans have had special meaning in Chinese culture. This tour takes you to the Wang Xingji Fan Culture and Creative Industrial Park and the Chinese Fan Culture Museum to learn all about fans, their history, their production, and so you can make your own. You may have noticed that nearly all female figures in traditional Chinese paintings carry a fan. Usually the structure of these fans is made of sand wood, and the faces are made of silk or paper, which historically make them one of the best expressions of elegance. Founded in the first year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Xingji Fan Culture & Creative Industrial Park is one of Chinas first recognized Time-Honored Brands, an honor kept only for brands that have been established in China and have been popular for a long time. More recently than the Qing Dynasty, fan-making has been enlisted in the national intangible cultural heritage reserve. This tour takes you to the industrial park, but also includes a visit to the traditional Chinese Fan Culture Museum. Here you can watch and learn as the fan craftsmen make the perfect fan. Then, under the guidance of specialist, you can paint the cover of your own fan, and take photographs in ancient Chinese costumes with your fan.
