A mother and daughter from Poland joined our vegetarian Chinese cooking class during their family trip to China. From practicing knife skills to discovering authentic Chinese vegetarian dishes, the afternoon became much more than just a cooking lesson—it was a chance to slow down, laugh together, and experience Chinese food culture.

An American family spanning three generations discovered Chinese calligraphy together in Shanghai. From Traditional Chinese characters to first brushstrokes, their private workshop became a meaningful cultural experience shared across the family.

Flying home to Australia after traveling in Italy, Nick and April decided to spend five days in Shanghai during their stopover. Their second day in China turned into an unforgettable soup dumpling experience—and a new appreciation for Chinese food, high-speed rail, and local life.

A Brazilian exchange student came to our Shanghai bamboo weaving workshop alone. He wasn't good at crafts, but he wanted to make a handmade bamboo jewelry gift for his girlfriend instead of buying one. His choice of a red bamboo camellia led to a heartfelt conversation about love, Chinese culture, and family history.

She first visited YIN Studio as a new employee attending a company Xiao Long Bao team-building event. Over time, she returned with family and friends for Chinese calligraphy, and eventually came back once more—this time as the organizer of her own company's dumpling workshop. Some guest journeys don't end after one visit; they simply continue to grow.
