          Chinese paintings have a long tradition and a unique style. This has been an art by using " dots and lines" as expressive skill and brush, inkstick, silk and Xuan paper as main implements. Taking a form of traditional Chinese architecture, the gallery is arranged into long corridor-like showcases with large panels of glass, upturned eaves and low banisters. In order to protect ancient paintings and provide audiences with a clear view as well, a sensitive lighting system is installed. More than 120 masterpieces ranging from the Tang dynasty to the present are shown within the space of 1,200 square meters. The exhibition fully displays age-old tradition and profound foundation of Chinese paintings.
