On Aug 12, an
online video exhibition celebrating Jiangnan, the region south of the
Yangtze River, was organized by the China Cultural Center in Sydney and
the Chinese Tourism Office in Sydney, together with the culture and
tourism bureaus of Shanghai and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui provinces. Jiangnan is
the cradle of many Chinese cultural treasures. It represents beauty and
poetics. Bai Juyi, a great literatus of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), once
wrote the famous poem Memories of Jiangnan. Today, the
Yangtze River Delta, where Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are
located, is packed with cultural and tourism destinations. Known for
both beautiful natural scenery and profound culture, visitors fall in
love with the elegant Jiangnan gardens, ancient temples, exquisite lakes
and mountains. Zhouzhuang,
Tongli, Xitang, Wuzhen and other water towns south of the Yangtze River
have been popular choices for travelers over the years. The exhibition
is one of the Visiting China Online activities hosted by the China
Cultural Center in Sydney and the Chinese tourism office in Sydney,
which will also be seen on social media such as WeChat, Facebook,
Twitter and YouTube.
