Beautiful Yangtze

Earlier this year, the China National Academy of Painting organized a tour along the Yangtze River for resident artists and artists based in cities along the Yangtze River.

Nearly 140 art pieces produced as a result of the tour are now on show at Protecting the Beautiful Yangtze River, which is on display at the art museum of the China National Academy of Painting in Beijing until Friday. The exhibition covers many aspects of the regions along the Yangtze, their ecology, economy, tradition, history and social development.

Scholars from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences were invited to give lectures to help artists better understand the past and present of the thriving areas. The pieces include notes made by the artists during the trip, as well as the opinions of critics.
