Recently, the “Land of Blessings” cultural and tourism promotion event, hosted by the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, made a splendid debut in Jakarta, Indonesia, offering locals a spectacular audiovisual feast!
The event was filled with a vibrant atmosphere. The melodious tunes of the Min Opera “The Peony Pavilion” filled the air, while She ethnic group dance showcased the charm of the living intangible cultural heritage. The intricate jasmine tea scenting process highlighted Fuzhou’s unique craftsmanship, and an impressive intangible cultural heritage fashion show brought the event to a climax.
In the exhibition area, Fuzhou’s intangible cultural heritage items such as paper-cutting, cork painting, bodiless lacquerware, and oil-paper umbrellas were on display. A captivating photo exhibition allowed the audience to immerse themselves in Fuzhou’s scenic landscapes. Interactive activities such as blessing sending and food tasting were highly praised by international friends, creating a lively and bustling scene.
Fuzhou and Indonesia share geographical proximity, cultural affinity, and economic integration, with close cultural and tourism exchanges and cooperation between the two regions. This “fu” (blessing) cultural extravaganza that transcended mountains and seas immersed the audience in the unique charm of the blessed city of Fuzhou.
Looking ahead, Fuzhou’s culture and tourism sector will continue promoting the “fu” culture globally, looking forward to opening a new chapter of cultural exchange with more countries.
As the National Day holiday approaches, Fuzhou is welcoming friends from around the world with the utmost enthusiasm. Whether it’s listening to Pinghua (storytelling performance) in the ancient houses of Shangxiahang, watching an artistic performance on the streets of Yantaishan, or taking a night cruise on the Minjiang River to admire the glittering lights along both banks, Fuzhou extends a heartfelt invitation to every visitor to create their own cherished memories.
