Gangbuk Culture Foundation brings Chengdu cultural exhibition to Seoul

The Gangbuk Culture Foundation will host a collaborative exhibition titled "More Than Pandas: Chengdu" in Seoul from Wednesday until the end of the month. The exhibition, in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Chinese Embassy in Korea and the Chengdu Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, aims to introduce the culture and arts of Chengdu, the capital of China's Sichuan province.

Known internationally for its giant pandas, Chengdu is celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, including the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu's former residence, and the Wuhou Shrine, a temple dedicated to Zhuge Liang, a prominent figure during China's Three Kingdoms period. This marks the first standalone exhibition by cultural institutions representing Chengdu in Korea, following a partnership agreement signed by the foundation and the Cultural Center of the Chinese Embassy on August 26. An opening ceremony is scheduled for 10:30.
