Chinese Jade Carving Factory (museum) Feb 2016
Beijing Dragon Land Superior Jade Gallery
Jade is prized rock in china used in feng shui and other purposes like jewelry, carvings etc.Its really not a carving factory. ITS A TOURIST TRAP. I mean there is just one guy that carves in the entrance for everyone to see and they didnt really do that thing there. they claimed that the carving factory is somewhere else (its stupid, so to speak) and they keep on telling tourist over and over that its a government place and they say no tax etc. They will give you a presentation that they say is just 2 mins but it lasted at least 10 minutes and you have to stay in that place for 45 minutes (minimum and we stayed there LONGER!) instead of just staying longer at the tourist spots we want to see, Im not saying that the place is bad. I actually enjoyed looking at the things on display. They offer a lot of things but also remember that since this is a tourist stop (forced shopping itinerary)
I do like Feng shui stuff but i would rather go to experts for this kind of things. I didnt touch anything at all for the fear that some thing might break (See reviews online) so i just looked. They actually keep forcing tourists to touch the items (it didnt worked for me and my husband)

The Forbidden City 紫禁城 Beijing China
The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty. It is located in the center of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 72 ha (180 acres). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War.

Completely on a whim I went with a friend to the outskirts of Beijing to visit an art museum. While it was a tad bit chilly the architecture was simply gorgeous. Without doubt, it was worth being cold. Definitely will have to come back again!

DAZU STONE CARVINGS EXHIBITION
The steep hillsides of the Dazu world heritage site near Chongqing contain an exceptional series of rock carvings dating from the 9th to the 13th century.
The carvings comprise some 50,000 figures in total. They are remarkable for their aesthetic quality, rich diversity of subject matter, both secular and religious, and the light that they shed on everyday life in China during this period.
This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to see some of these sculptures, which have never before been seen outside China.
From Steep Hillsides: Ancient Rock Carvings from Dazu, China contains superb examples that have become detached from their original setting, along with accurate replicas of some of the most important sculptures still in situ and dramatic large-scale images to give some idea of what it is like to visit these spectacular places.
Dazu is a real treasure house of Chinese art history and an important expression of the ideas of Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism, as well as a fascinating insight into Chinese daily life.
National Museum Cardiff is proud to be the only venue for this important exhibition before it returns to Dazu
400 Year Old Ivory Carvings Collections From All Around The World
Ivory is a term usually employed to particularize the tusk of the elephant.
India which has high traditions in ivory carving right from Indus civilization is represented by carved ivory figures from Assam; chessmen, small toys, household articles from Lucknow; intricately carved lamp shade, religious figures, woven ivory mat and replicas of the historical sites from Mysore, all of 19th and 20th centuries.
The Salar Jung Museum has a good collection of ivory carvings from different parts of the world. The collection of ivory gives an excellent idea of ivory as a medium of plastic art.
Experts say that the Chinese have been carrying on ivory carving for more than 3000 years. The Museum’s Chinese ivories of late 18th and 19th centuries include serene human figures. Vividly portrayed birds and other creatures and the intriguing Cantonese concentric balls-ball with in ball affairs.
The chessmen, chausar sets of Ivory in the collection form an interesting group. Amongst the objects of European ivory carvings, a set of our ivory chairs said to have been presented by Louis XVI of France to Tipu Sultan of Mysore deserves special mention.
The collection of carved paper cutters also forms a splendid group. The large size paper cutter catches the attention of the onlooker. Apart from the above, there are also procession scenes, delicately carved boxes, fly whisks, figures of animals and bedsteads.
The Japanese, though late entrants in the field of ivory carving, show themselves as expert carvers the proof borne our by the their delicately carved figures painted with designs in gold lacquer and realistic representation of shrines preserved in the Museum.
Though not of the first rate quality some of the late Egyptian ivory figures displayed are coloured brown, an artistic decoration indulged in by ancient Egyptions who had achieved high quality ivory carving before 3000 B.C.
Although ivory carving a was widely practiced during the historical periods of Europe very little carved ivory appears to have ended up in museums except in private collections and far-flung monasteries in Europe. French ivories dominate the 19th and 20th centuries museum collection. French ivories show a variety of social subjects such as beggars. German ivories include beer mugs. English ivories comprise portraits.
