China News Service, Quanzhou, October 1 (Reporter Sun Hong) The 2026 Quanzhou Minnan Cultural Intangible Cultural Heritage Week series of activities, "Integrating both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the most southern Fujian", gathered intangible cultural heritage from Fujian and Taiwan, kicked off on the 1st at the Confucian Temple Square in Quanzhou, Fujian, creating a cultural and tourism feast integrating performances, exhibitions, tastings, wellness and consumption, and injecting new vitality into cultural and tourism consumption during the National Day holiday.
It is understood that the six-day event is based on the profound southern Fujian culture, bringing together the ingenuity of intangible cultural heritage craftsmen from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, building a communication platform for cross-strait cultural integration and mutual learning, and integrating cultural and artistic performances, boutique displays, food tasting, traditional Chinese medicine health care, and cultural tourism consumption to provide citizens and tourists with a splendid southern Fujian cultural tourism feast.
Liu Linshuang, member of the Standing Committee of the Quanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Propaganda Department, introduced that for this Southern Fujian Cultural Intangible Cultural Heritage Week event, we have carefully prepared four special cultural gifts: "Good Show", "Delicious Fragrance", "Healthy Meditation" and "Gathering of Craftsmanship", inviting tourists from all over the world to stop in the ancient city, take a slow tour of Quanzhou, and immerse themselves in unlocking the unique charm and romance of "the most southern Fujian".
At the event, traditional handicrafts and cultural and creative products such as Taiwanese Tianmu tea cups and Taiwanese Jiaozhi pottery were very popular, and Taiwanese specialty snacks such as salted crispy chicken, soy milk chicken wings, and oyster egg roasts were full of aroma. In the intangible cultural heritage experience area, representative inheritors of Anxi bamboo and rattan weaving, Fujian incense making techniques, and Dehua porcelain firing techniques provided on-site guidance, attracting many citizens and tourists to participate with children, immersing themselves in the vitality of the intangible cultural heritage of Fujian and Taiwan.

The relevant person in charge of the Quanzhou Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau said that in the future, Quanzhou will continue to promote the construction of the Southern Fujian Cultural Ecological Reserve, so that the stories of "integrating both sides of the Taiwan Strait" and "the most Southern Fujian" can be told and updated in the world heritage city, so that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can get to know each other in the common cultural roots, and work together to enhance the influence and popularity of Southern Fujian culture.
It is reported that in order to further enrich the experience of young people, this event incorporates technological elements and sets up interactive links such as intelligent robot painting. The event is also equipped with a small stage for the intangible cultural heritage talent show and the "Vinegar Fragrance Floats Thousands of Miles" - Yongchun Shunde Hall Old Vinegar Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop booth, allowing citizens and tourists to experience it with their own hands, watch it up close, and immerse themselves in the charm of the intangible cultural heritage.
