From the red walls of the Forbidden City to British porcelain, from Liangzhu jade to Italian leathercraft, and from the clouds of Auspicious Cranes to Slovak crystal — cultures meet and mingle at the China-Foreign Exchange Pavilion during the Liangzhu Cultural and Creative Bazaar, running from Oct 17 to 20 at Hall 3 of Liangzhu 5000+ Art Creation Park in Hangzhou.

The event brings together artisans and cultural institutions from across China and abroad, featuring over 10 countries and top museums, such as the Palace Museum, National Museum of China, and Liangzhu Museum.

Visitors can explore fine craftsmanship from Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, alongside creative cultural products inspired by Chinese heritage — from jade-inspired jewelry to archaeological-themed art toys.

With immersive multisensory experiences, live demonstrations by artisans, and interactive exhibits, the fair transforms Liangzhu into a vivid dialogue between ancient civilizations and modern creativity, offering a hands-on journey through 5,000 years of culture.
