On May 24, the solemn event “The Great Tea Road – Dialogue of Civilizations” took place at the Chinese Cultural Center.

Employees of the Darwin Museum Alexandra Selezneva and Marina Galich took part in this significant event dedicated to the culture of Yunnan province, as well as international relations between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China.

The photo exhibition “Tea and the World of Yunnan” aroused great interest, introducing visitors to the wondrous and unique beauty of the province of Yunnan, which means “cloudy south”. Its natural resources are amazing and varied - paradises with rare and unique species of flora and fauna; vast protected areas with beautiful rivers, lakes, waterfalls; largest tea plantations. It is here that the ancient homeland of tea trees is located. Pu-erh teas are best known, but many other types are also grown. At the tea ceremony, which took place in the exhibition space, one could taste and evaluate the tastes of different types of tea.

Master classes on processing and dyeing fabrics and applying patterns were also held here. Handmade items of clothing made by talented craftsmen - embroidered folk costumes, belts, hats, and jewelry - attracted a lot of attention.

At the opening ceremony, Minister-Counselor Feng Litao sincerely and warmly welcomed the assembled guests and expressed hope that the stated theme, namely “The Great Tea Road,” could truly become a constructive “dialogue of civilizations” that would promote unity, mutual understanding, and cooperation between countries.

A fun lottery with drawings and memorable prizes, bright and fiery traditional songs and dances performed by the creative team of the peoples of this province made it possible to see the vibrant and unique culture of the peoples of China, to understand its originality and uniqueness.

At the end of the program, all participants of the event took photographs.
