Learn how to make authentic and traditional Chinese paper lanterns and explore the ancient alleys, lanes, temples, courtyards, and castles of Yu County. Educational and fun for adults and children aged 8 and up.

On this two-day trip you’ll venture into China’s countryside, far from modern Beijing, where Ming Dynasty-era temples, castles, and city walls still stand and the old folk traditions handed down by generations of master artisans are still active.

Highlights

• Craft workshops with local artisans—make traditional flower lanterns with Master Dong; make traditional zodiac animal lanterns with Master Yang.


• Make your own hand-crafted lanterns to bring home from the trip.


• Walking tours of key historical sites in Nuanquanzhen and Yuxian.
