Yangliuqing is a market town in Tianjin's Xiqing District. Despite its small size, it’s one of the most famous towns in China – thanks to its production of the Yangliuqing New Year’s pictures. Hailed as a treasure of traditional Chinese folk art, Yangliuqing’s wood engraved New Year's paintings are celebrated for their distinctive features and deep symbolism. CGTN’s Lindy Mtongana and Yang Xinmeng take a tour of the Yangliuqing Museum to find out more about the town’s much-loved art.
