The Huzhou Art Gallery is currently hosting an exhibition that features gifts from Shimada, Japan as well as objects and photographs from Yeongam and Cheongju, South Korea.

The exhibition, which will run until Jan 15, 2024, is the final installment of a three-part series organized by Huzhou aiming to strengthen connections with its sister cities in East Asia. The previous two exhibitions were held at the Huzhou Museum.

The exhibition includes a total of 33 exhibits, and the three exhibitions have already attracted nearly 5,000 visitors.

Huzhou's dedicated efforts towards cultural exchange are increasing the city's chances of being honored as a Cultural City of East Asia, following its designation as a candidate in August 2021.
