Tibetan heritage showcased in one of Beijing's oldest parks

Editor's note: The "Cultural Homeland — Blessed Land Rangtang" exhibition was held recently at Chanfu Temple in Beihai Park, Beijing. Featuring thangka paintings, hand-painted pastel porcelain plaques and Buddhist statues, the exhibition brought Tibetan artistic traditions into the heart of the capital's historic royal garden. Together, these images reflect not only the beauty of the artworks themselves, but also an ongoing cultural dialogue between Han and Tibetan traditions.
