Jinan's wisdom in cultural heritage protection highlighted

Muhammad Imran, reporter from Pakistan's Dawn News, was so excited to watch the shadow puppets again at the Baihuazhou Historical and Cultural Block.

"We experienced the shadow play. I was recalling memories of what my mom told me back in Pakistan…But nowadays in Pakistan we don't have the facilities to enjoy this kind of play."

He spoke highly of the city's efforts to protect traditional handcrafts.

"It was a good experience for me and I took some videos and photos," he said, adding that he would share with friends and family members back home how China was preserving this kind of art.

The workshop is open free to the public from 8 am to 9 pm, in an attempt to help more people get close to Jinan's traditional arts and culture.
