The story

Taiyuan International Folk Arts Festival in Taiyuan

Taiyuan hosts an international folk arts festival, running under the China International Folk Arts Festival banner since 1991, bringing troupes from countries including Russia, Korea, Japan and Singapore together with Chinese regional performers for painting, paper-cutting, sculpture, drama, acrobatics and costume programming, often alongside a linked Shanxi drum festival and friendship week.

Performers from Russia, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Inner Mongolia have travelled to Taiyuan for this festival, joining dozens of Chinese art groups and thousands of domestic performers in a programme that mixes fine art exhibitions of painting, paper-cutting and sculpture with staged drama, acrobatics, magic and costume display.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Direct participation from troupes representing Russia, Korea, Japan, Singapore and Inner Mongolia performing alongside dozens of domestic Chinese art groups gives this festival a genuinely international scope unusual for a provincial-capital folk event, rather than a purely local showcase dressed up with an international label

02

The mystery stays covered

Running the fine-art exhibition strand, painting, paper-cutting and sculpture, alongside staged performance strands, drama, acrobatics, magic and costume, in one combined programme is a broader format than most single-medium folk festivals attempt
