It really is an amazing artwork. Not only because it is a visual encyclopedia of life in the Northern Song Dynasty, but also since it is a fine painting with great detail and very clever use of perspective.
It is the star attraction of "The Pride of China." Worth braving a trip to the wilds of Tsim Sha Tsui.
Chinese laws restrict the exhibition of a national treasure like this to three weeks (after which it must go "rest" in the vaults of Beijing). Qingming will be on view until July 22.
