An exhibition showcasing paper heads for lion dance will open on Friday at a shopping center in Hong Kong's Admiralty, allowing visitors to delve into traditional Chinese culture and the artistry behind the exquisite creations.

A highlight of the exhibition is a lion head made by local craftsman Ha Chung-kin. Created ahead of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it depicts a series of significant historic events leading up to 1949, the year of the nation’s founding.

Titled "Inheritance of Fine Traditional Chinese Culture: Lion Head Paper Crafting Exhibition", the exhibition runs through Oct 13. Crafting workshops will be hosted every weekend and on public holidays during the event.

China Daily’s Edmond Tang took the photos during a media preview on Thursday.
