A "Tibet Impression" Photography Exhibition launched in New York on June 26.
Sixty photographs by renowned contemporary Chinese artists and photographers are on display. The exhibition comprehensively displays both natural and cultural landscapes of Tibet.
Tibet is considered a pure and holy land in western China, where Tibetan people have lived for generations in a society of wisdom and hard work. Tibetan culture, formed through thousands of years of civilization, has become an important part of the treasure house of Chinese culture.
These works show the natural beauty and harmony of Tibet as well as its social and economic development, cultural preservation, religious freedom, environmental protection, people's lives and so on.
Besides the photographs, visitors also enjoy elegant Tibetan singing and dancing performances, yak-butter tea and delicious Tibetan snacks.
The exhibition was jointly sponsored by Consulate General of People's Republic of China in New York, China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification (New York) and China Overseas Friendship Association and sponsored by the Chinese Community Association of Eastern America.
Ma Yue, president of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification (New York), delivered a speech in the opening ceremony, saying that more events like this will be held to promote better understanding by New Yorkers about the Tibetan culture, and about the great success in economic and social development that Tibet has achieved.
In addition, Dechen Tulku, president of the Tibetan Association of North America, delivered a speech to explain Tibetan culture, religion and social and economic development.
"I believe those photos will surely help New Yorker to have a quick understand of the Tibetan culture," Fang Yan, a political commentator living in New York, told Beijing Review.
