Amid the gentle patter of spring rain, the ornate pavilions of Beijing Grand View Garden transform into a stage for cultural splendor.

Performers of all kinds — singers, actors, musicians, opera artists, and folk artisans — gathered here on June 14, united by their passion for the country’s intangible cultural heritage.

Coinciding with this year’s Cultural and Natural Heritage Day, the gala Timeless Traditions — hosted by Harper’s Bazaar and short-video platform Douyin — showcased the creative fusion of fashion and intangible cultural heritage.

The event opened with a red carpet showcase, where celebrities like actor Cao Jun, singer Dai Yanni, and actresses He Hongshan and Zhao Zhaoyi dazzled in outfits blending heritage-inspired designs.
