TRADITIONAL handicrafts and creative products from Hangzhou are a big hit in Greek capital Athens.

The 145 art pieces made of copper, wood, bamboo, silk, paper and ceramic materials were displayed at the city’s Byzantine and Christian Museum.

Hangzhou artists demonstrated umbrella making, tea ceremony and Chinese calligraphy at the museum.

The exhibition is part of the Sino-Greek cultural exchange program for 2017.
