The National Art Museum of China last weekend opened a contemporary art exhibition entitled Beautiful Xiamen that hosts 104 pieces of art by local artists.
The exhibition is the result of two years of preparation and an important milestone for Xiamen artists, said Zhiwang Dai, the vice minister of the city’s publicity department. The exhibition is designed both to showcase local artists and to develop the city’s contemporary arts scene, according to Mr. Dai.
Xinlun Wang, the chairman of the Xiamen Artists Association, said that the city is currently well represented in the Chinese Artist Association, with more than 100 members hailing from Xiamen. The exhibition will run through April 12.
China announced and implemented on May 15 a policy allowing visa-free entry of foreign tourist groups aboard cruise ships via all cruise ship ports along the country's coastline.
China and Georgia are set to waive visa requirements for travelers starting May 28.
