came to Tianzhushan Geopark Museum, and they listened carefully to the museum
docent when visiting the museum. After visiting the Earth Mystery Hall, Life
Evolution Hall and Folk Culture Hall, they came to the experience hall, where
they happily rolled up their sleeves and learnt to make Zongzi, which is a kind
of traditional food made of glutinous rice and eaten during the Dragon Boat
Festival.

children to learn geological and cultural knowledge while experiencing
traditional cultural customs and the charm of traditional festivals, and guided
young people to further promote and inherit traditional Chinese culture.
