Online Photo Exhibition Held in Israel to Display Central China’s Culture and Tourism

On May 5, the China Cultural Center in Tel Aviv launched an online photo exhibition displaying the rich cultural and tourism resources in central China’s Hubei Province. The exhibition will last for a whole month.

With a total of 45 photos, the exhibition has three categories – “natural ecology,” “history and culture,” and the “happy life” of Hubei, providing a window to discover the long history and rich cultural resources of the province, said Tao Chen, director of the China Cultural Center.

According to Tao, the photo exhibition comprehensively showcased the natural landscapes, historical sites, and rapid social and economic development of Hubei.

Israeli audiences can better understand Hubei through viewing the exhibition with photos of places such as Huanghelou (Yellow Crane Tower), which was rebuilt many times over the past 1,700 years, and Shennongjia, a large primitive forest and national park.

The China Cultural Center translated captions of each photo into Hebrew for Israeli audiences, so that they could read the detailed introduction of each photo when they click on the images on their smartphones or computers.

As planned, the China Cultural Center will cooperate with Hubei Province this year to bring a lot of events for the Israeli people, said Tao, adding that some events could not be held on schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thus, the two sides turned to the online platform to present the beauty of Hubei to the Israeli people, Tao said.

The exhibition started on May 5, and will last for a month.
