As the Year of the Horse approaches, children in Qingdao are embracing the rich customs of Chinese New Year. A special "Seeking old traditions, tasting festive flavors" activity lets young participants experience the charm of Spring Festival culture firsthand.

Through engaging workshops, children explore woodblock New Year painting, shape colorful clay figurines, wrap dumplings, and craft intricate sugar paintings. Each hands-on activity brings ancient traditions to life, sparking joy and curiosity.

The event not only fills the winter break with festive warmth but also plants a seed of cultural inheritance in young hearts — keeping China's intangible heritage alive for generations to come.
