Often known as wheels of good fortune, Beijing paper windmills are circulating an air of success at the 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). As a classical folk handicraft and intangible cultural heritage of the capital city, the windmills are cultural symbols of temple fairs and festivals. The paper windmill is one of the oldest Chinese folk handicrafts, and its history can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, as far back as around 800 years ago.
