Imagine stepping into a princely residence built in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), where lively court goldfish swim in wooden basins. Ornate fish tanks and goldfish-themed paintings brighten the reconstructed studies and drawing rooms of centuries ago.
This is the annual goldfish exhibition at Prince Kung's Palace Museum in Beijing. The graceful little fish, more than just being adorable, symbolize good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. Who could resist?
Dates: Until Sept 23
