Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, visited the Orsay Museum with Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, in Paris on Monday.

Brigitte Macron warmly welcomed Peng at the gate of the museum. The wives of the two heads of state entered the museum to appreciate the "Paris 1874 Inventing Impressionism" exhibition and the museum's masterpiece oil paintings.

The two stopped from time to time to appreciate Impressionist classic works by Claude Monet, Van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and other famous painters, and exchanged feelings.

Noting that both the Chinese and French people love painting very much, Peng expressed her hope that the two sides could carry out more exchanges so that the two peoples could feel the charm of each other's cultures and deepen mutual understanding.

Peng expressed the hope that artists of the two countries will strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and inspire each other to create more exquisite works of art.

In the hall of the museum, the wives of the two heads of state had cordial exchanges with French students who were visiting and studying there.

The students shared their experiences of learning Chinese and expressed their love for Chinese culture. Peng encouraged them to work hard to learn Chinese well, and take opportunities to study in China, walk around and take a look, so that they can get a true and multi-dimensional view of China.

Peng said she hopes that the students will become little envoys of China-France friendship and build a bridge of communication between the people of the two countries so that China-France friendship will be passed on from generation to generation.

Founded in 1986, the Orsay Museum is a national museum of France, possessing the richest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks in the world.

The Xizang sub-venue of the 2025 Spring Festival Gala is all set to present the unique cultural heritage of the local ethnic groups at the world's most-watched TV program to be aired on Chinese New Year's Eve on Tuesday evening.

The gala, also known as "Chunwan" in Chinese, has been broadcast live annually since 1983, and is considered a major cultural symbol of traditional Chinese New Year celebrations.

This year, Chongqing Municipality, Hubei Province's Wuhan, Lhasa of the Xizang Autonomous Region, and Jiangsu Province's Wuxi were selected to stage parts of the gala.

Along with the main venue in Beijing, the selected locations are expected to stage a vibrant and diverse cultural feast for audience worldwide.

Unlike the other three sub-venues, the Lhasa sub-venue, 3,650 meters above sea level, is the only one that features audience seating, where staff members were still working on the preparations on Tuesday morning.

The main stage of the sub-venue was set in front of the renowned Potala Palace, where the combination of naked-eye 3D and augmented reality technologies with stellar ethnic performances is expected to deliver a stunning audio-visual experience to viewers.
