Chang'an in Pyrography

A young designer escapes the rat race of the city and takes over her grandfather's traditional Xi'an gourd pyrography craft, which is on the verge of being lost. Among local landmarks such as Xi'an's city walls, Shuyuanmen, the Muslim Quarter, Qujiang, and the Bell and Drum Towers, she rediscovers ancient techniques, finds ways to preserve the craft, and blends it with fresh, modern ideas. In the end, she brings the thousand-year-old Chang'an pyrography tradition beyond the old streets and gives it new life in this healing story of growth.
