I can’t believe I’ve never been here! 💥
I’m from Beijing, and this is my first time in Guangdong, beside delicious food, there’s also a famous art school in Guangdong.
I had a chance to visit the Fine arts exhibition of Guangdong Provence, and I was pleasant surprised the quality of contemporary Chinese arts are OUTSTANDING! 🇨🇳🎨
