The Chinese Cultural Center initially opened in August 2019, but quickly had to close because of the pandemic.

During this time there is even more need for understanding," said Cheng.

The center packed with artifacts and displays, from a statue of the famous philosopher Confucius to delicate ivory carvings, a wedding sedan chair, intricate abacus counting tools and elaborate tea settings. Visitors can practice Chinese calligraphy and peruse historic texts.
