An ethnic cultural knowledge quiz was held at Hechi’s Teenager National Culture Educational Base on the evening of April 15, marking the start of a series of cultural activities celebrating the Zhuang ethnic group’s Double Third Day.

More than 200 students from 11 counties and districts of Hechi participated. Each participant randomly drew one of 250 essay questions on folk customs before entering Hechi’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Center. Then they were required to find the answer of the question by listening to introductions and watching exhibitions in the show room. Once the answer was correct, the participant could win a small gift.
