This year, salted pork rice dumplings are available in two versions: traditional and healthy. Purple rice and brown rice are used instead of traditional glutinous rice, allowing more elderly people to still enjoy the dumplings.

Each participant had their own unique method for wrapping the dumplings. They generously shared their traditional wisdom during the meal.

We have experienced instructors providing guidance throughout the workshop; all materials are provided, and participants can take home the rice dumplings they made themselves.

This workshop not only preserves a traditional craft that is on the verge of being lost, but also creates unforgettable memories. Participants can learn to make rice dumplings independently, enhance their understanding of Chinese festival culture, and take home their homemade delicious dumplings to share with family and friends. It is one of the most meaningful experiences during the Dragon Boat Festival.
