The traditional Chinese Xiaonian festival, marking the start of the countdown to the Chinese Lunar New Year, fell on January 23 in southern China. Twenty-seven international students from 16 countries who are studying in Central South University visited the Changsha Library on that day. They learned Chinese calligraphy, experienced intangible cultural heritage items, and observed the "finger tour" exhibition—a non-visual exhibition for the visitors with visual impairment, having an immersive experience of the unique charm of extensive and profound traditional Chinese culture.
