Overview
The Craft Bazaars project curates a rotating market of traditional crafts, regional food, and cultural products in key public squares. It supports local artisans and provides visitors with hands-on encounters that reinforce Mingshui’s cultural storytelling.
Programme elements
- Monthly themed markets focused on textile, metalwork, and paper arts.
- Live demonstrations and short workshops for visitors and families.
- Collaboration with local schools and heritage inheritors.
- Retail standards that emphasize authenticity and cultural integrity.
Experience and operations
Building on Mingshui’s destination narrative, the project extends the visitor journey by linking spaces, programmes, and services into a cohesive experience. Hands-on studios let visitors observe craft processes and participate in short workshops. Wayfinding, pacing, and dwell points are designed so guests can move between discovery, participation, and rest without losing the sense of place.
Community and seasonal impact
Operations emphasize curated partnerships and repeatable programming. Artist rosters rotate to keep techniques and stories varied across seasons. Seasonal refreshes, local collaborations, and performance touchpoints keep the offer fresh while supporting long-term brand equity.
