China's Living Cultural Heritage—Dry Lacquer with Ramie & Gold-Lacquer Sculpture

NewTrek is the Hong Kong operating office established by Tiantai Mountain Buddhist Town, connecting its living Buddhist art and dry lacquer traditions with a wider international community.

Every work is created not as a mass-produced ornament, but carefully by hand—carrying the warmth, natural variation and quiet presence of traditional Chinese lacquer art.
