Visitors will be able to view about 40 pieces from Qing Dynasty and a few by masters of the Lingnan school like Gao Jianfuꡧ1879-1951?and Chen Shuren (1884-1948). They will also be able to paint their own porcelains under the guidance of Guangzhou porcelain craftsmen.
Another program that citizens should not miss is the "2004-2005 national theatrical classics" which is going to be performed in Guangzhou for the first time. The 11 classics include Face Off from Sichuan Theater, Dream of Dunhuang by Gansu Lanzhou Art Troup, Bagui Chorus by Guangxi Liuzhou Art Troup. These will be staged in Zhongshan Hall, Friendship Theater and Huanghuagang Theater.
