A group of artists from China, South Korea, Canada, Belgium, Mongolia and other countries recently finished their journey to Kashgar, Aksu and Urumqi in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
During the two-week trip, they visited the Ancient City of Kashgar, a national 5A-level tourist attraction featuring a rammed-earth building complex that can trace its origins back 2,000 years; the Kizil Grottoes, the longest surviving grotto temple site in the country; Tianshan Grand Canyon, a national-level forest park; local museums and other places that might spark the artists creativity.
The experience of enjoying the splendid and picturesque scenery as well as embracing the cultural diversity of different ethnic groups in the region has inspired the artists to portray what they ve seen and express their feelings using pencil, brush and palette. The sketches, oil paintings, prints and installation artworks they created during the two weeks have been on display at the Xinjiang Academy
