The Event

What is Beijing Culture? Is it just Beijing folk culture, or Hutong culture? It is actually a question not so easy to answer. We are honored to invite two experts on Beijing culture for this event: Mr. ZHAO Heng and Mr. Patrice Fava. Please join us for this panel discussion with the two experts.

LANGUAGE

The language of the event will be Chinese.
