During the recent May Day holiday, the Jiushan Book Club opera lifestyle market in Lucheng district, Wenzhou, was crowded with nearly 100,000 visitors, who came to experience its unique cultural offerings.
As the first opera lifestyle market in China, Jiushan Book Club aimed to create a relaxing atmosphere which combined opera culture, intangible cultural heritage items, handicrafts, gourmet food, and entertainment facilities.
It also explored the preservation and development of traditional opera culture, bringing opera back to its roots as a form of entertainment for the masses.
Portuguese anchor Chen Mengyao and Moroccan anchor Lamia from the Wenzhou Overseas Media Center dressed in hanfu for photos and experienced the cultural charm of Chinese opera.
Lamia said: "Wearing hanfu makes me feel like a princess." "It is both traditional and trendy here. We can also play antique games and eat traditional Wenzhou cuisine. I even bought a beautiful antique fan." Chen Mengyao was also thrilled with the experience.
