Fang Zhenning, curator of the first section, believes the integration of architecture and natural landscape is important not only for sustainable development, but also caters to the human need for a spiritual home.
The contemporary art section is the largest part of the show. Artists convey Chinese landscapes, namely mountains and waters, in the most surprising ways.
Video artist Yang Yongliang presents scenes of intensive urban landscape - traffic flows, high-rise buildings and Ferris wheel - which are superimposed on a panoramic painting of natural sceneries featuring high mountains and waterfalls.
The end result is a video creation titled The Day of Perpetual Night, which portrays the real world in a fantasy way. The serenity of nature is in sharp contrast against the city rhythm, yet at the same time, they form a strange and harmonious flow of energy.
Many visitors stop to sit in front of an installation project by Song Dong, consisting of 60 big blocks made of different materials. The project features the five basic elements in ancient Chinese culture: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
