As one of Shanghai’s landmarks, the Shanghai Tower is not only a tourist destination but also a place to showcase common people’s art. On Christmas Eve, an exhibition featuring school students’ and teachers’ drawings and paintings kicked off on the building’s ground floor.

The kids are very excited to see their artworks on display in China’s tallest building. “I’m honored to have my drawing displayed at the Shanghai Tower. It is a memorable experience I will cherish for a lifetime. I will keep drawing, no matter how busy I am with my studies,” said a fifth grader.

According to a staff member at the Shanghai Tower, it has been the first time that the Shanghai Tower opens its doors to host an exhibition featuring primary school students’ and teachers’ works of art. What’s more, the Shanghai Tower aims to show richer and more diverse exhibitions.

The exhibition will be on until January 6, 2018.
