The ICH demonstrations drew crowds of visitors. "I think Huanma paper-cutting is more intricate and detailed in craftsmanship. That's why I bought this piece titled Nine Dragons Bestowing Blessings," said Fan Jiahao, a tourist from Chengdu, with delight. "With a red background and gold patterns, it looks exquisite and festive – I hope it brings good fortune to my family."
