The Nanming cultural creativity market was held from May 18 to 20 at Guizhou Provincial Museum's Tonggu Square, drawing crowds with a vibrant showcase of traditional craftsmanship and modern cultural flair.

More than 30 stalls lined the square, offering a diverse range of cultural and creative products, including lacquer paintings, ceramics, woodwork, and scented items.

In the hands-on heritage craft zone, visitors immersed themselves in eight traditional techniques, including fan-making, weaving, embroidery, and tie-dye. Each activity offered a deeper connection to China's artisanal traditions.

The event also featured an open-air art exhibition and interactive art experiences, where artists and attendees participated in graffiti, brush painting, indigo dyeing, and body painting with heritage patterns.

Dynamic cultural performances further enriched the experience: songs of the Bouyei people brought ancient ethnic tales to life, offering a glimpse into the region's deep cultural roots, and live folk music created a relaxing, soulful atmosphere that captivated audiences.
