Dough Figurine Sculpture is a traditional craft that uses steamed flour to create colourful sculptures of people or animals and has been included in the First Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory of Hong Kong.
This year, The Wong Tai Sin SE Lab aimed to promote intergenerational harmony and awareness of intangible cultural heritage preservation by having primary school students become intangible cultural heritage ambassadors and led the elderly in experiencing dough figurine sculpture.
