Inside, upwards of a thousand masterwork fans from each age and era reveal the history and development of fan art and culture in China. Admire the displays, then hear the story of the highlight piece of the museum.

At midday step out into the sunshine for a snack-and-stroll walk on the Grand Canal banks. In the afternoon, arrive at the doors to ground-zero, the 100-year time-honored Chinese brand of Wang Xing Ji Fan Industry Co. Ltd.

First, enjoy a quick look through the collection of the last hundred years of their work. Afterwards, enter the Wang Xing Ji handcraft workshop garage and get first-hand proof that true to tradition, even today each and every Wang Xing Ji fan is a pure work of hand craft.
Now it's time to experience the craft for yourself! Under the guidance of Wang Xing Ji heritage art fan craft personnel, learn and apply traditional fancraft techniques to make your own fan, then join the resident master artist to add personalized decorative flair to your work.
