11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday(No entry after 6:00 p.m.)
If you are interested in art and trees, you mustn't miss this opportunity. There will be an activity held by the Power Station of Art at the Trees Exhibition.
When you are going to visit it, you will find that most of the arts are paintings, photographs and installation artworks(装置艺术作品). There is only one real banyan tree(榕树). But among all the artworks, it still remains a pretty amazing“piece of art”.
The exhibition introduces some great artists and the unbelievable things that they have done. For example, the French artist Fabrice Hyber has planted 500 million seeds over the past 40 years. Another artist, Franeis Hall, is a botanist(植物学家) who has been studying plants for 60 years.
The exhibition can make you think a lot about people and nature. We human beings always see ourselves as the centre of the world. However, humans take up only 0.01 percent of all living things on the earth, while plants take up 90 percent. Through their artworks, the artists showed us how small humans actually were as well as the importance of protecting the environment.
Tickets are 50 yuan for adults and free for the old over 60 years old. Half price for children under the age of 10.
