5. Take a stroll in Qi Baishi's art world in Changsha

The newly relocated Changsha Art Museum in Central China's Hunan province is holding a grand solo exhibition of Qi Baishi (1864-1957), a native of Hunan's Xiangtan who worked his way from a carpenter to be one of the most revered names in 20th century classic Chinese ink painting.

A comprehensive exhibition of the master's creations, the show brings together 93 sets of Qi's creations, spanning painting, calligraphy and seal carvings. Visitors to the show can appreciate how the master captured the soul of the simple things in life, including fruit, insects and shrimp, which the artist is best known for.

A video showcasing how the images of shrimp evolved six times under the master's brush, from his late 60s to his 90s, is also on view.
