Planting a cultural seed

A former cosmetics factory, the Sanlu Plant in Beijing has been repurposed to house, develop and protect the future of China's intangible cultural heritage, Yang Feiyue reports.

A former factory and Beijing landmark has been transformed into an intangible cultural heritage park in the capital's downtown.

Several modern-looking buildings and a big lawn at its heart easily set Yongyuan apart from its hutong surroundings.
