Start old-port Quanzhou at Kaiyuan
Temple & port history
Watch strings bring a tiny stage to life
Watch the tiny movements: a puppet balancing, handling a prop or suddenly changing expression. A mixed bill of short pieces gives you several ways into Quanzhou’s string-puppet craft. The skill is visible even when you cannot follow every word of the singing.
