Comprising 25 artworks, this exhibition reveals how, in the words of Legislative Council’s Deputy and Master of Arts Chan Ho Sing, «the brush of the artist covers the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. And the valleys and waterways in the foreign lands. He is full of appreciation, praise, and blessings. The feelings are simple and sincere, without boundaries».

«Traveling is a form of life for people», he says, and «good memories are also a source of joy. The exhibits include scenes familiar to you and me, such as sceneries of Macau, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the landscape of Guilin, the Mausoleum of Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi, Zhujiajiao in Shanghai, Nyingchi in Tibet, the Town of Furong in Hunan, St. Petersburg in Russia, Porto in Portugal, Venice in Italy, Okinawa in Japan, etc». For Chan Ho Sing, «images are delivered to the audience’s eyes as if one belongs in it. And each can fill in the colors freely in their minds», he concludes.
