"True art is born from genuine emotion," said acclaimed director Wang Chaoge, as she shared her artistic journey aboard a Lijiang River cruise at the 2024 Guilin Festival on Oct 27.
"The fusion of Guilin's landscapes, cultural heritage, and artistic diversity forms an ideal stage that captivates global audiences."
"Performing at the Guangxi Provincial Art Museum is more energizing than anywhere else."
"The opening ceremony will center around the theme 'Looking Back and Moving Forward,' featuring three characters: the reminiscer, the guardian, and the visionary."
Set against the poetic backdrop of Guilin's mountains and rivers, the 2024 Guilin Festival will open on Oct 26, bringing together artists and visitors for a celebration of cultural and artistic heritage.
