Experience the Art of Woodcarving with a Master Craftsman in Shaxi

€5.00

Discover the timeless art of Jianchuan woodcarving — a traditional craft that has been passed down for generations and is now recognized as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of woodcarving from a local master artisan in the historic town of Shaxi.

Under the patient guidance of the craftsman, you’ll use traditional tools to carve your own wooden piece — choosing from various shapes and patterns according to your preference. The process is slow, focused, and deeply soothing — a chance to disconnect from rush and routine, and connect instead with the quiet rhythm of Shaxi’s craftsmanship.

This is not just a creative experience, but a meaningful cultural encounter — an opportunity to feel the spirit of local artistry that has defined Jianchuan for centuries.

Please note: The listed price is a non-refundable reservation fee. The remaining 380 RMB can be paid directly to your guide during the experience.

Our experience usually starts at 9:00 AM local time, but if it’s just your group, we can be flexible and start at a time that works best for you!
