A Kenyan journalism delegation recently experienced the rich cultural heritage of China’s Buyi people in Huishui, China, focusing on their ancient traditions of papercutting, painting, and indigo cloth textiles. This cultural exchange offered insights into the Buyi people's way of life and their dedication to preserving their heritage.

• Lu Yijun, an inheritor of China’s intangible cultural heritage of papercutting, demonstrated the 2,000-year-old craft, which he has practiced for nearly two decades.
• The delegation learned about traditional painting using pigments mixed from tree extracts and oak oil, and observed the meticulous creation of indigo-dyed textiles, which can take up to one week to complete.
• The immersive experience included a traditional Buyi lunch, where delegates navigated local dishes using only chopsticks, fostering a shared moment of cultural immersion and laughter.
