Ticket for Quanzhou String Puppetry Performance

About this activity

Come to Quanzhou and embark on a thousand-year intangible cultural heritage journey at your fingertips. At the Quanzhou Marionette Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall, you can witness the magic of "suspended puppets" firsthand: with a gentle flick of the fingertips, the puppets raise their eyebrows, dance their sleeves, and wield spears, vividly performing the joys and sorrows of ancient plays. Here, you'll find humorous clowns and majestic generals, exquisite opera costumes embroidered with Minnan craftsmanship, and landscape backdrops that evoke an ancient charm. You can watch inheritors manipulate more than a dozen strings, making the puppets perform exquisite movements like pouring tea and dancing with swords; you can also personally experience the fun of "string pulling" and unlock the fingertip secrets of intangible cultural heritage. In the ancient house teahouse, red lanterns sway, tea fragrance accompanies the sound of opera, and the laughter of old artists and young audiences blends into the Minnan everyday life. From the marketplaces and entertainment venues of the Song Dynasty to today's living experience halls, this art of "giving puppets a soul" is waiting for you to discover in its vibrant form. Come here, touch the warmth of a thousand-year intangible cultural heritage, and hide the cultural essence of Minnan in your memories.
