Located in the capital city of Hebei, this center serves as both a museum and an active workshop where visitors can witness master artisans practicing centuries-old techniques. The center features comprehensive exhibitions on various traditional crafts including paper cutting, clay figurines, embroidery, wood carving, and traditional textile weaving.
