XUZHOU, China, May 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 1200
international guests from more than 60 countries explored the rich
heritage of Xuzhou, China, during
the recent Customer Festival of XCMG Machinery (SHE:000425,
"XCMG"). The event featured tours of historical sites, immersive
cultural experiences, and spectacular performances that showcased
traditional Chinese culture.
The festival offered a diverse itinerary that captivated its
global customers. Guests visited the Hui Long Nest historical
and cultural district—a national-level tourism and leisure area
known for its ancient charm with roofs made of black tiles and
walls of stone. To enhance the experience for international
visitors, an interactive Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) zone
was set up in the center of the district where guests engaged in
activities like lacquer fan making, stone tablet rubbing, sugar
painting, and trying on Hanfu—traditional Han Chinese clothing.
One of the highlights was a visit to the Pengcheng Fenghua
performance venue where guests enjoyed a scene-based interactive
experience. "Wearing Hanfu made me feel like a queen; it's such a
beautiful tradition," said Bowman Karen from South Africa, who attended with friend
Gibson Liza Marie. Both were fascinated by the contrast between
modernity and tradition evident throughout their visit.
Mr. Fatimatou from Cameroon found particular interest in
ICH stone rubbing. He skillfully created rubbings with her favorite
phrase "contentment," demonstrating deep engagement with this
ancient art form. Meanwhile, Chen Shujing from Kaohsiung,
Taiwan, couldn't resist purchasing
eleven aromatic sachets to take home as gifts.
The journey through Xuzhou's history continued as visitors
listened to stories about Chu kings at Shizi Mountain King Tomb
Museum before exploring nearby terracotta warrior sites and painted
Han Dynasty tombs—offering them an intimate look into China's millennia-old cultural
accumulation.
As night fell over Yunlong Lake
during the Pengcheng Fenghua show, visitors were treated to a
magical performance. Under dazzling lights and accompanied by dance
performances on boats, technology-enhanced visuals created a
mesmerizing experience. Reflecting on unforgettable moments during
the Pangcheng Fenghua performance, Siyafa Kobusingye from
Kampala, Uganda, said, "I've never
seen anything quite like it, it was a magical performance;
especially when it started raining during the show—it felt
surreal."
"The integration of light effects with natural elements like
rain and thunder followed by a moonrise was breathtakingly
beautiful," remarked Kobusingye after witnessing this unique
spectacle that seamlessly blended past and present over 70
minutes.
