The Area will provide an interactive showcase for twelve intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, including health-preserving TCM hammers, Chinese flour figurines and block printing. The innovative remake of the famous Chinese painting – A Hundred Scenes of the Song Dynasty – will take visitors back in time to the historical period a thousand years ago. A twelve-flavour experience installation, a drunk simulator, the mortise and tenon craftsmanship and the original China Chic clothes from mainland China and Macao will be exhibited. The event will have a fashion show to display traditional Chinese clothing, allowing visitors to appreciate its charm.
Following the upgrade of cooking methods led by rapid technological development, this year’s “New Gourmet Tasting Zone 2.0” will invite famous Chinese and Western chefs to bake lion head pastries using innovative facilities and ways integrated with smart kitchens. They will serve such culinary delights to visitors on the spot. Meanwhile, four photo booths with different themes will be set up so that visitors can satisfy both their taste buds and their eyes.
