On July 1, Guangdong Cultural and Tourism Center was officially inaugurated in Paris, marking the establishment of a new cultural bridge between Lingnan and Europe along the romantic Seine River. The launch event brought together representatives from Chinese and French government agencies, tourism institutions, business associations, and mainstream media.
The venue featured strong Lingnan cultural elements, with a highlight being the traditional Cantonese embroidery exhibition. Master Wang Xinyuan, a senior arts and crafts artist and recognized inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage Guangxiu project, showcased six signature embroidery pieces. These works—spanning themes from animals and bronzeware to Lingnan scenery—blended traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, drawing high praise from French guests and the public alike for their intricate artistry and cultural depth.
