Qiandao Lake’s Creative Life Week in Hangzhou is buzzing with energy, driven by a youthful crowd eager to connect with their cultural roots while pushing the boundaries of traditional Chinese arts.

The festivities reached a peak on October 26 at Qiandaohu Xiushui Square, where teenagers took center stage, showcasing their talents in dance, singing, and sports. The dynamic presentations not only displayed the artistic achievements of Chun’an’s youth but also their commitment to enlivening traditional arts.
