Vibrant events enliven Cao Zhuangyuan Street Block

A series of vibrant cultural events, themed "Champion of Success," captivated visitors at the historic Cao Zhuangyuan Street Block in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, offering rich and immersive experiences that showcased the city's tourism appeal and cultural charm.

Highlights included a dazzling village fashion show, held on the crosswalk in front of the iconic Zhuangyuan Pavilion. The event combined fashion with heritage, featuring innovative designs inspired by Miao embroidery patterns and traditional scholar attire, along with flash mob performances that delighted the audience with their visual and cultural flair.

Another major attraction was the immersive script-based experience, centered on two historical figures: Cao Weicheng, a military exam champion from Guizhou, and Xia Tonghe, a legal reform pioneer. Visitors journeyed through time among the block's ancient buildings, engaging in role-play and solving carefully crafted puzzles that revealed dramatic moments in local history, creating a vivid, interactive window into the past.

At the Majiang Specialty Market, cultural treasures and regional delights were on display. Crowds are drawn to the intricate Miao silver jewelry, handcrafted intangible cultural heritage products, and tempting Guizhou specialties – all reflecting the region's rich traditions and flavors.

As night fell, the energy continued with the "Sidewalk Concert: Majiang Edition." Blending the spontaneity of Guiyang's sidewalk music scene with the artistry of street performances, the show brought together traditional Miao lusheng music and modern folk melodies. This fusion created a captivating harmony of old and new, resonating with cultural pride and contemporary emotion.
