The Anhui Pavilion Week opened in the Expo Garden on Wednesday, showcasing the charm of the province, celebrated for its Huangshan Mountain, Huangmei Opera and xuan paper.

Live demonstrations of local folk art creation and handicraft making intrigued visitors.

Zheng Zhixiang, the only remaining woman known to have studied xuan papermaking, demonstrated the process with crowd participation from guests such as Jiangsu province resident Chen Xu.

"I really like xuan paper and always wondered how it's produced," Chen said. "It's exciting to actually participate in the process."

More than 600 artists will stage about 70 such shows in the Expo Garden during the Week of Anhui, which lasts until June 27.
