Guided by the vision of “enhancing the global influence of Chinese civilization and deepening mutual learning among civilizations,” this event is rooted in Quanzhou’s rich cultural heritage as a vital starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, as well as Quangang’s unique integration of mountains, sea, city, and people. It aims to build a high-level international platform for artistic dialogue. Through exhibitions, workshops, and symposiums, the event fosters in-depth exchanges and creative interactions among artists from Southeast Asia, South Asia, and China.

The painters not only took part in plein air creation and exhibitions, but also visited well-known scenic spots in Fujian, including Quanzhou and Xiamen, where they experienced the rich local cultural atmosphere firsthand.
