Suihua.

Suihua is a regional center among black-soil farms and county towns, where agriculture and craft shape everyday life. Paper-cutting in Hailun, pottery in Suileng, festive paper decorations in Lanxi and shadow theatre in Wangkui belong to different communities and materials. The city museum offers a civic setting for these traditions, while the cultivated land remains their broader context.
