Laomendong is such a fantastic place in Nanjing! It's full of the amazing traditional Chinese arts. They date from ancient times. When you walk through its old streets, you'll see so many beautiful old buildings. And everywhere you look, there are cool traditional art forms to discover.
One of the most fun things to see is clay figurine(小塑像) making. The artists here are really creative—they take soft clay and use their hands to turn it into all kinds of things. You might see small people, cute animals, or even your favourite cartoon characters! Some modern types are made in moulds(模具), but many are still made by hand. These little clay figurines look so real and lovely that many people buy them as special gifts.
You can also find sugar painting stalls. They are super interesting. The artists heat up sugar until it melts. Then they use a tool to get that hot, sticky sugar and draw pictures on a board. In just a few minutes, after the paintings cooling down, all kinds of cute shapes, like swimming fish or hopping(跳行) rabbits, will appear in front of your eyes. What's great is that these sugar artworks aren't just pretty—they're sweet and delicious too!
These wonderful artworks belong to China, but they are also a gift to the world. Laomendong is the perfect place to learn about traditional Chinese arts. So if you ever get the chance to visit, don't miss it—it's an adventure you'll love!
