Hainan shares Chinese culture through cross-cultural Mid-Autumn Festival events

In Sanya, the Yazhou Tropical Science International Talent Station also held a celebration event that drew researchers and their families from more than 10 countries. Gathering between the mountains and the sea, participants immersed themselves in traditional Mid-Autumn customs, discussed new opportunities for scientific and technological cooperation, and deepened friendships in an atmosphere of reunion, strengthening momentum for Hainan's scientific innovation industry and talent exchange.

A series of Chinese-style cultural experiences followed, offering international and local talent an immersive feast of traditional culture. Under the guidance of professional instructors, participants practiced tai chi together, sensing the rhythm and wisdom of Eastern martial arts through slow, steady movements. Intangible cultural heritage lecturers explained the history of hanfu (traditional Chinese costume) and its etiquette culture, and participants toured the grounds in traditional attire, experiencing the elegance of Chinese dress and its millennia-old heritage.

A handmade mooncake session drew enthusiastic participation, with talent from home and abroad crafting traditional mooncakes by hand and, through practice, gaining insight into the cultural themes of reunion, harmony, and national unity that define Mid-Autumn Festival.
