Eatwith-Beijing-Qing Palace Style Photography and Afternoon Tea, Exclusive Indoor Scene and Calligraphy Experience

Host Introduction

Hello everyone, I am host Jun Cao in Beijing, I am the owner of an art studio Wuyunxuan.

Beijing's traditional culture has influenced me since I was a child. I love poetry, calligraphy, and Chinese painting. Among them, I especially like Chinese painting, specifically flower and bird painting. I have been taught by Xu Zhan, Liu Cunhui, and Guo Shifu, and have been practicing for decades.

My flower and bird paintings are very popular and are collected by buyers from many countries such as the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Russia.

My studio Wuyunxuan, at the Donghuamen of the Forbidden City in Beijing, is dedicated to the exchange and inheritance of Chinese and foreign cultures.

Experience Process

The entire experience will last approximately 2 hours.

After meeting at the agreed-upon time, the host will invite an experienced makeup artist to select an outfit and apply makeup for you.

Once your makeup and styling are complete, the host will arrange for a photoshoot in a traditional Chinese-style setting and will also teach you calligraphy using a brush pen.

During the experience, you can enjoy halal afternoon tea and traditional jasmine tea, carefully prepared by the host.
