"Jing" embroidery, one of the top four embroideries of China, and the craft of inside- snuff-bottle-painting were demonstrated in a lively manner at the exhibition.
Visitors from various countries learned a lot about Beijing traditional culture and some even learned how to say "Jing Tai Lan" in Chinese. The live shows attracted more people from other nations to fall in love with Beijing culture.
It was announced that another Charming Beijing Exhibition is planned for the end of September 2017 in Beijing. Artists from Central and Eastern Europe, forming a part of the exhibition, will be invited to participate.
