Step into a living museum of modern Chinese creativity! Beijing Hotel – the historic crown jewel of the capital – is currently showcasing its legendary art collection at Wanli Center of Contemporary Art through June 2026. This ‘Behold the Year’s Unfolding Spring in Its Grace’ exhibition features never-before-seen works by icons like Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong 🖌️ – think of it as the ultimate VIP pass to China’s artistic legacy.
Why Gen Z Should Care?
Beyond the ‘gram-worthy displays (yes, photography’s allowed!), this is your chance to see brushstrokes that shaped 20th-century aesthetics. Pro tip: Huang Yongyu’s playful animal motifs are giving major modern meme energy – proof that great art transcends centuries 😉.
