Quanzhou puppetry, especially the string puppetry, has a history of more than a thousand years of uninterrupted inheritance and is a treasure among Chinese puppetry. As one of the first national intangible cultural heritage projects, Quanzhou puppetry has gained popularity on social media and has become a new trend in Quanzhou tourism in recent years. There are various string or glove puppet performances at the Quanzhou Puppet Theater from time to time, which are worth seeing. There are usually performances on Saturdays and Sundays, and the specific time needs to be checked in advance by the theater announcement.
