Tianjin began its week-long culture show at the World Expo 2010 yesterday with a display of many of its folk arts at the Baosteel Stage in Zone B of the Pudong site.
Activities included painting Yangliuqing New Year pictures and making Clay Figurine Zhang, two of the more than 100-year-old traditional folk arts of the city.
People can make their own Yangliuqing paintings and clay figurines with the help of artists, Li Peisheng, deputy secretary general of Tianjin municipal government, said.
There are also demonstrations of kite making and paper-cutting to be held on the stage three times a day until Thursday.

Visitors will be invited to play puppets with the artists during the parade.
