Senior artists of painting, calligraphy, photography and classic literature gathered at Qianxinan Bouyi and Miao autonomous region to attend celebration activities for the Double Ninth Festival on Oct 9.

The event was held to provide a communication platform for the artists, encouraging them to create more works to enrich Guizhou’s spiritual culture.

Double Ninth Festival falls on Sept 9 of the lunar calendar, and is traditionally a time to show respect for elders.
