Piqiu Incense Selected for 7th Ningbo Local Souvenir & “Yong Yun Global Gift” Evaluation
Panda Incense brought its signature Piqiu Incense to the 7th “Ningbo Characteristic Souvenir” & 3rd “Yong Yun Global Gift” public evaluation event, representing Fenghua District to compete among 76 outstanding local cultural products.
Hosted by Ningbo Consumer Council and Yongpai Media, this year’s event gathers regional representative goods covering gourmet snacks, intangible cultural heritage crafts, tech creations and aesthetic daily ware. A dual jury of industry experts and international-focused reviewers assesses all entries from six dimensions: regional identity, product quality, cultural value, market potential, accessibility and global export suitability, aiming to pick out authentic Ningbo gifts that can tell Chinese stories to the world.
As Fenghua’s core intangible cultural heritage aroma exhibit, Piqiu Incense carries the profound Zen culture of Xuedou Mountain Maitreya sacred land, with three core competitive highlights recognized by on-site judges:
1. National Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft & Global Diplomatic Credentials
Piqiu Incense is crafted via state-level medicinal incense making techniques. It was exclusively customized as official diplomatic gifts for delegates from 72 countries at the 6th World Buddhist Forum held on Xuedou Mountain, and has been featured on national CCTV cultural programs, standing as a classic oriental ritual incense national gift.
2. Unique Natural Herbal Formula & Handmade Craft
The name “Piqiu” is the ancient title for giant pandas. This exclusive blend incorporates fermented bamboo herb raw materials paired with 33 categories of natural flowers, fruits, roots, stems and leaves, refined through ancient secret recipes without synthetic fragrances or chemical binders. The gentle, long-lasting woody-herbal aroma calms restless minds and purifies living space energy, ideal for meditation and daily mindfulness rituals.
The gift box is decorated with hand-painted panda illustrations created over half a year by professional painters, integrating traditional Chinese painting aesthetics with mountain Zen philosophy.
3. Global Export Potential Aligned With “Yong Yun Global Gift” Initiative
This year’s newly launched “Yong Yun Global Culture Ambassador” program focuses on screening products with cross-cultural communication value for overseas markets. Our full incense lineup matches international demand for vegan, natural, spiritual wellness goods:
- Piqiu National Gift Incense Sticks – Limited national gift-grade ritual sticks for meditation & home purification
- Xuedou Dragon Stream Incense Collection– Daily-use balanced herbal blends for regular rituals
- Ancient Harmony Herbal Incense Beads – Wearable aromatherapy bracelet for travel & smoke-free sachets
- Embroidered Scented Sachets – Gentle space cleansing for sensitive living environments, such as bedrooms, cars, wardrobes and offices
During the on-site exhibition, global cultural ambassadors and overseas reviewers highly praised Piqiu Incense’s unique cultural logic and mild natural aroma. Many international judges noted this temple-origin herbal incense perfectly bridges Eastern Zen wellness and Western modern spiritual self-care, making it a premium export gift representing Ningbo’s millennial incense heritage.
While the evaluation event is held offline in Ningbo, all signature incense showcased at the exhibition is fully available worldwide via our official global online store. Overseas meditation practitioners, yoga lovers and cultural collectors can shop the forum-honored national gift incense without traveling to China, and bring authentic Xuedou Mountain Zen aroma into their daily ritual space.
