The Gao Jia Dayuan used to be the residence of the aristocratic Gao family. It has been turned into a 'Folk House' to display various Chinese Folk Artforms. We had fun playing with these marionettes. I've tried my hand at making and operating marionettes, but these were incredibly complex and lifelike. They were about the same size as Kalila! We also got to see a traditional shadow play performance. The puppeteers were very skilled. They made the man carry water, wave a fan, smoke a pipe, and even pull his girlfriend's hair!
