Take part in New Zealand Chinese Language Week 2026 and try your hand at self-guided Chinese calligraphy.

Water calligraphy is a fun activity for all ages. Practise your brush strokes and Chinese characters without the mess of ink—once the water dries, you can write again and again. You can even have a go at writing some of the useful phrases featured during New

Zealand Chinese Language Week 2026.
