Huangnan showcases infinite vitality on the canvas

The Regong Longshu Painting Garden, located in Wutunxia Village, Longwu Town, Tongren City, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, was founded in August 2010 and is a comprehensive institution for Regong art transmission and industry in the local area. The art garden gathers practitioners from various ethnic groups such as Han, Tibetan, Tu, and Mongolian.

Relying on the model of mature painters leading apprentices to pass on art, 358 graduates indirectly led more than 2000 people to engage in Regong art related work, effectively solving the employment and livelihood problems of more than 500 impoverished families. Traditional crafts have truly become a good way for the masses to steadily increase income and become prosperous.
