Peace Art Co

Peace Art Co is descended from the famous Peace Painting Gallery. 50 years ago it was a popular salon favored by literatis and artists. Poet Guo Mouo, painters Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi held regular gatherings here.

An artistic aura still surrounds the building today, though it's now a teahouse. Whether it's the traditional paintings or the decorated screens, Chinese culture is close enough to be touched and felt everywhere.

The first floor resembles a mini-museum, with paintings, calligraphy and old furniture. And the second floor is where you can sip tea and enjoy delicious cuisine with a couple of friends. Chinese dishes or Japanese tea, either will give you a taste of culture.
