The first ever traditional Chinese painting exhibition with 50 pieces of paintings of tigers on show, began in Bengal Gallery in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka on August 12, attracting more than 200 people on the first day.
"The tigers are just like live ones. I like these paintings so much," said Parveen, a local journalist. "I thought Chinese paintings of horses, birds and flowers are very famous. But today I know the tigers paintings are also so nice," she said.
The paintings were all painted by Chinese farmers from Wanggong village, a village famous for its tiger paintings, in China's central Henan province.
"These paintings are on show in accordance with the ongoing Beijing Olympic Games to show the Chinese culture while Bangladesh' s national animal is also the Bengal Tiger," Culture Counsellor of Chinese Embassy in Bangladesh said during the opening ceremony.
