The China Huangshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition has opened in Shexian County in the eastern Province of Anhui. During the five-day event, visitors from China and abroad will have a chance to appreciate more than 200 items that embody the country's intangible cultural heritage.

Delicate porcelains, traditional water and ink paintings, and amazing carvings, a total of 216 artifacts have been carefully selected by the organizers to be on display. Nearly 100 folk artists from all over the country have also been invited to demonstrate their craft-making skills. One that’s sure to catch visitors’ eyes is the paper-umbrella maker.

A folk artist said, "It’s a complicated job. First, you make the umbrella structure with bamboo and wood. And then, you need to print colorful flowers on this special kind of paper which is made from the bark of paper mulberry tree. After that, you brush the Chinese wood oil on it. In this way, the umbrella will become quite beautiful, bright and firm."

To attract more visitors, organizers will also be carrying out various themed activities, such as an intangible cultural heritage tour.

The exhibition also features traditional drum and dragon dance performances, which will offer visitors a chance to experience first-hand the charm of the country’s living heritage. The exhibition ends on Sunday.
