The second Annual Conference on the Preservation of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage kicked off in Yaohu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu province, on Saturday.

The three-day event featured forums gathering experts to discuss better preservation methods, salons for different generations of heritage inheritors and a market showcasing hundreds of relevant projects from across the country.

At the event's opening ceremony, a book on the current state of intangible cultural heritage dissemination was released. Based on internet dissemination data from various regions, categories, levels of inheritors and heritage activities, the book summarizes the efforts on preserving and transmitting intangible cultural heritage last year and suggestions for further improving heritage promotion efforts.

Meanwhile, Anda Union, an ensemble from Hohhot, the capital of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, showcased humai, a throat-singing technique, and played the horse-head fiddle, which opened the ceremony's intangible cultural heritage performances. Following this, arts such as Kunqu Opera and acrobatics were performed, providing the audience with a visual and auditory feast.

During the event, walking through the streets and lanes of the Yaohu scenic area, visitors experienced an immersive feast of intangible cultural heritage, featuring hundreds of national and provincial representative projects from across the country, including various culinary arts, traditional operas, dances and handicrafts.
