    Beijing only has a few rivers, and Wenyu River is one of the most beautiful. A new exhibition is celebrating its history and culture. Let's take a look.

    The exhibition features pictures, models and books that document the history of Wenyu River. In addition to the background, the exhibition also offers viewers a chance to learn about its customs and folklore.

    As Beijing continues to change, efforts to protect the river are underway. To safeguard the natural beauty of the river, the local government started a program two years ago for the long term protection of the river's ecology.
