01:04One thousand years ago, string puppetry started and there are currently 36 strings for various movements.

01:19When it comes to music, Nanyin music style is one of the most popular styles in the studio.

02:45In order to feel the culture of Chenzhou, one of the interactive activities that should be tried is lantern making.
