As a 10-day art and culture exchange visit to Myanmar drew to a close, participating artists presented brilliant watercolor works inspired by the Buddhist country.

Myanmar: Through the Dragon's Brush, an art and culture exchange program organized by China Daily and the Chinese Culture and Art Association, brought the work of nine Chinese artists to four major cities in Myanmar-Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake-where they told tales of the country with brushes and canvas.

The 32 finished works exhibited on the trip's last two days were well received in Yangon, managing to capture the multilayered characteristics of the country-sacred and traditional, also humble yet modern.
