Dragon Kin zither cultural village, or Long Ren in Chinese, is located in Changtai county of Fujian province. Founded in 2010, the village has become a base to spread Chinese traditional culture, with tourism and academic activities combined.

There are production workshops, research centers, string laboratories and exhibition rooms in the village. The zithers produced here will be showcased in the World Expo in Milan, Italy, in May, presenting the beauty and charm of traditional Chinese music.
