Expats learned to paint on silk scarves during a free online class given by the Hongshan International Service Center on Saturday. Traditional painting on silk scarves is gaining popularity in recent years. The international service center in Minzhi, Longhua District, has been offering free online and offline Chinese culture classes since April last year, seeking to build an international neighborhood and create a multicultural atmosphere. Activities like this are designed to enhance the understanding of Chinese culture as well as promote cultural exchanges between China and overseas countries.
