Stunning experience of light and culture in Xi’an
 
A famous cultural landmark in Xi'an, northwest China's #Shaanxi Province, Grand Tang Mall is designed along the theme of Tang Dynasty culture. Its modern elements make it a one-stop consumer hotspot that brings together shopping, dining, entertainment, leisure and simply gorgeous light shows. But what you absolutely cannot miss here is the real-life tumbler toy performance. Its sheer beauty makes time stand still.

#ChinaStory One-person bamboo drifting is a unique folk skill that originated in SW China’s Guizhou province and has a history of over 2,000 years. You need to stand on a single piece of Mao bamboo and keep your balance. How would you do it?

Chinese Artist uses 'bamboo brush' for unexpected effects. Instead of a pencil, Deng Yu sketches most of his paintings with a "bamboo brush".
Inspired by Chinese writing brushes, his brush is made of bamboo twigs, and represents his latest attempt to create unpredictability in splatter effects. Through Western color and Chinese painting techniques, Deng has been looking for an intersection between Eastern and Western art styles. His painting technique has gone viral on short video platform Douyin.

NOT the Forbidden City - from TheChinaTrips on Facebook at the Shenyang Imperial Palace

Quote
The Mukden Palace was built to resemble the Forbidden City in Beijing. However, the palace also exhibits hints of Manchu and Tibetan styles.
It was the former palace before the Qing’s royalty moved to Forbidden City

Guge (Tibetan: གུ་གེ་, Wylie: gu ge ) was an ancient kingdom in Western Tibet. The kingdom was centered in present-day Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region. At various points in history after the 10th century AD, the kingdom held sway over a vast area including south-eastern Zanskar, Upper Kinnaur district, and Spiti Valley, either by conquest or as tributaries. The ruins of the former capital of the Guge kingdom are located at Tsaparang in the Sutlej valley, not far from Mount Kailash and 1,200 miles (1,900 km) westwards from Lhasa.
