Intangible Cultural Heritage
You will have the opportunity to experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage from Shekou and Longsheng. You can admire the colorful traditional clothing, clothing batik skills, and elegant Hakka costumes, represented by Hakka blue shirts, kerchieves, skirts, and shoes, allowing you to understand the totemic representations of these two places over thousands of years.
The intangible heritage exhibition will feature Longsheng Long Drum Dance and Long Hair Dance, Cantonese opera, and Hakka mountain songs, bringing you the unique musical style of the Lingnan Region.
The ancient hair care recipe of the "World's Number One Long Hair Village" will be revealed! What kind of shampoo can make the hair 1.7 meters long without split ends or hair loss? Why is an 80-year-old person's hair black? For those with hair troubles, don't miss out.
DIY&Clothes
You can DIY intangible heritage crafts, such as bamboo wind chimes, lacquer fans, and mother-of-pearl brooches, enjoying the joy of creation. A free trial of intangible heritage clothing will allow you to travel through time. Let food and beauty coexist, and make this unique memory eternal.
Agriculture Products
The unique geographical location of Longsheng has nurtured high-quality agricultural products. Tea oil, rice, tea, monk fruit, and other products from Longsheng will be sold at the event to satisfy the needs of the public in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
