Amandayan, China
Set in the Unesco-listed Old Town, Amandayan will showcase local traditions of the Naxi people throughout the month of February. On New Year’s Eve (or “Da Du” in Naxi culture), a local spiritual leader will host a calligraphy class to shed light on the practice of hanging couplets (or banners).
