Making lanterns
Lanterns in China date back more than 1,800 years and in 2006, gongdeng, or palace lanterns, were recognized as a national-level intangible cultural heritage. At Jian Kun Tang in Beijing Wtown, visitors can appreciate this heritage item and learn to make their own gongdeng with an in-house craftsman.
