"Gaint pandas, dragon (dancing) and Shu brocade... This is the intangible cultural heritage hall inside the Athlete's Village of Chengdu Universiade."

"I'm joined by Joanna, who is a volunteer of the Universiade. I'm very curious about what are those umbrellas here?"
 
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JOANNA, Volunteer of the Chengdu Universiade
"These are oil-paper umbrellas. They just give us a gesture of openness (of the exhibition)." 
 
SOUNDBITE 3 (English): LIU YUTIAN, Xinhua correspondent
"Wow, Joanna, this is so amazing. I can see deers on this side and humans on the other side. What is this?"
 
SOUNDBITE 4 (English): JOANNA, Volunteer of the Chengdu Universiade
"This is Shu embroidery. You can see these are a mother and her son, and on this side there are also the (deer) mother and its son. Just very incredible. Just one people sits on this side, and another people sits on the other side. They use the same needle to complete this picture. It's so wonderful."
 
SOUNDBITE 5 (English): LIU YUTIAN, Xinhua correspondent
"I know that Sichuan is very famous for tea, and this teapot seems very different from what we use in our daily life. What is this teapot?"
 
SOUNDBITE 6 (English): JOANNA, Volunteer of the Chengdu Universiade
"Yes, this teapot is made in Yingjing (county), and it's completed by putting it in the fire to burn. And it's very special. We can see it has its own feature."

"In this area, we can see bamboo."
 
SOUNDBITE 8 (English): LIU YUTIAN, Xinhua correspondent
"And also pandas."

"Yes, pandas. We can also use bamboo to make the teapot to be used in our daily life. This picture is also made of bamboo. You can see they are so cute, right? The bamboo will be painted in different colors to complete this picture."
 
SOUNDBITE 10 (English): JOANNA, Volunteer of the Chengdu Universiade"This painting is made by bamboo weaving. It's very delicate. You can see there is a market. They (people in the painting) will do business, play cards, or have tea with their friends."
