We believe culture is borderless. Five thousand years of Chinese culture has seen the manifold art and wisdom of the Chinese people. To carry forward these well-preserved cultural heritages, we have worked together with other organisations in organising a series of cultural events to promote cultural exchanges between UK and China.
