The enchanting grasslands of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are being introduced to the people of London this week.

The 40 works on show were painted by 26 Inner Mongolian artists. Collectively these artists form the "Grassland School" of Chinese painting. All of the paintings are inspired by the grasslands and the lives of herdsmen who live there.

It's the first time the U.K. has seen an exhibition like this. The scale may not be large. But there're enough exemplary works to earn praise from those who attended, for cited distinctive style of the paintings.
