Meet the Makers: Inside a Snuff Bottle Workshop (2)

Inside-painting snuff bottles — a craft where miniature landscapes are painted through a bottle neck the width of a chopstick — remain one of Beijing’s most astonishing folk arts.

Hongqiao’s intangible-heritage studios offer workshops where visitors paint their own bottle under a master’s guidance. Upcoming sessions are listed on the Events page; no Chinese language skills needed.

Hongqiao Living Hall — online first, then in person at the market. For services mentioned in this article, see the Services section; for pearls and cultural goods, visit the retail section or the 4F gallery at the market.
