The exhibition displays 49 lotus-themed paintings meticulously created by Song Wei over a period of nearly 21 months within 7 years, during which he observed the changes of lotus flowers at sunrise and sunset. It is worth mentioning that the exhibition also incorporates the on-site space, specially arranging multiple vivid themed exhibition areas, presenting elegant and exquisite Chinese aesthetic living scenes, as well as the blend of Shanghai-style culture and artistic beauty. This is a series of cultural activities of the "Patio Gallery" with an immersive experience of "five senses" and taking the story in the "patio" as the clue.
