Jim told Xinhua that he read a book years ago about the life of Gladys Aylward, a missionary to China, and the book ignited his interest in the Asian country. "I've always wanted to go see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City... so that's why we came here so we could soak up a little bit more of the culture," Jim said.

For Floretta Keeney, a just retired pianist and organist from Annapolis, the colorful glazed porcelain was the most impressive exhibit. "They are like a piece of heaven," Keeney told Xinhua. "Extremely beautiful."

Keeney said she was also excited to receive a paper-cut rooster. "Somebody gave this to me, and told me this is my zodiac sign" she said, holding it carefully with two hands.

The craft demonstration is part of the Chinese Spring Festival celebrations presented by the non-profit World Artists Experiences, which aims to "bridge international understanding through cultural and citizen diplomacy."

Betty McGinnis, president of the organization, told Xinhua that she has been bringing Chinese culture to the local community since almost 15 years ago. "Many people look forward to the Spring Festival now, while they didn't even know what the Spring Festival was before," McGinnis said.

She said groups from different Chinese provinces have come to Maryland, and this year it's a group from Guangdong. "I think every group has been just fantastic," McGinnis said, adding that it's "marvelous" for the local community to learn about the different provinces and regions in China.

"It's a really great way for them to learn about unique cultures and the many of the intangible cultural heritage of China," she said.

Besides crafts activities, the celebrations this year also include performances, which feature classic Chinese songs and dances, puppet show, acrobats and the Cantonese Opera.

Kyle Leming, a high school student who watched a performance on Tuesday, told Xinhua he thought the show was "awesome." What he enjoyed the most was the wire walking acrobatic show, and the traditional music ensemble.

"That's the kind of music that most Americans associate with Chinese, and to see it actually performed is just really cool," he said. "The instruments are very different."

Leming, who has been learning Chinese for six years, said the language is "super interesting" despite the heavy workload. He said as China becomes increasingly important, knowing the language will definitely help him later on in life with jobs and beyond.
