China Ancient Papermaking and Printing Village/中国古代造纸印刷文化村

Add New Venue

The China Ancient Papermaking and Printing Village has a choice spot right across the road from the charming Fuchun River. Here you can see how it has been done for over a thousand years as you follow the step-by-step process from screening the bamboo pulp to stringing up the books and packaging them for shipping. You can even make a little paper and do a little woodblock printing yourself. Sorry, there’s very little English, but how much do you really need? Getting to Fuyang is easy. Go to the big bus station on Yan’an and Pinghai roads, hop on K514, and buy your ticket onboard (5RMB). Once you get to Fuyang, take a 6 kuai taxi ride to the ‘village.’ Ticket: 25RMB. The K514 bus runs 5:15am - 8:30pm from HZ to Fuyang and 5:30am – 8pm from Fuyang to HZ.
