Baotu Spring scenic area, a well-known attraction in Jinan, launched its "folk culture month" event on May 1. The event aims to offer tourists a bridge to get closer to the local folk culture and intangible cultural heritages.

It is offering 10 booths for display and sale of some Chinese traditional handicrafts such as paper-cutting, dough modeling, facial makeups and shadow puppetry.

Visitors also have the chance to experience weaving, making Rabbit King (a traditional toy in Jinan), and wrapping up Zongzi, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in reed leaves. The event will run until June 9.
