Nicole He, an event attendee, shared her surprise at seeing Guizhou's traditional batik art in person. "I had seen a documentary about Guizhou's batik on TV, but I never expected to encounter it here. The colors in batik aren't always easy to get right on the first try. You need to understand the process and work on it for a long time. These materials are rare, so I was amazed to see them here in DC," she told China Daily.

The most common feedback from visitors about the Guizhou workshops was that they were "very unique." The opportunity to witness authentic culture brought to Washington DC, excited many foreign guests, Maggie Wu told China Daily.

It was a great platform for showcasing Chinese culture, said Wu. Foreign visitors expressed their amazement, with many asking when there would be more Guizhou workshops where they could learn these crafts, or if there were any websites where they could purchase the items, she said.

"We also introduced them to the natural beauty of Guizhou. Some of them were very interested and asked detailed questions about the pricing and itinerary of travel tours to Guizhou," Wu said.
