Traditional China has a distinctive architecture and decorative art that are easy to recognize. Palaces, temples, gardens, and old houses feature many carefully crafted details, while traditional clothing and everyday objects offer different ways to explore Chinese culture.

Pagodas with their multi-level roofs, lanterns, decorated doors, and fans provide many shapes to personalize. Characters can wear traditional clothing decorated with patterns, accompanied by flowers, birds, or dragons. Red and gold are often associated with Chinese imagery, but any combination of colors can be used to create a personal interpretation.
