The exhibition involves more than 80 works from 15 categories, such as wood carving, root carving, and bamboo weaving, aiming to provide the public with a valuable opportunity to appreciate the beauty and culture of traditional arts. Some of the works are made by inheritors of intangible cultural heritage items, such as Xu Chunfeng's paper-cutting.

It also includes local food of Yiwu, which have shown to be well received by museum goers.
