China Institute of America — Attraction in New York

I was invited to an event at China Institute for Mandarin learners. Pleasantly surprised with the tasteful, artistic pictures they had in their gallery.

China Institute is a great place to learn and explore Chinese art, history, language, music, culture, and people.

I have studied Mandarin in China. The people who work at China Institute were very warm, friendly and welcoming. They took us on a private tour of the gallery.

The entrance to the place is on Rector Street and not on Washington Street. Parking is an issue, so plan to drive ahead of time. Subway is more convenient. As there is a train stop, just blocks away. It is close proximity to Wall Street and other places downtown.

The evening event had wonderful speakers, live music, good food and wine. They staff was very efficient in handling the crowd.

The tour of their gallery included the pictures of the 5 mountains in China. You can see some of them in my review.

Of course, we took a picture with some of the speakers and the China institute staff.

Definitely recommend China Institute. I am sure to go...

I came here to see the eternal offerings exhibition, and it was absolutely incredible. There were very few people there, which was nice for me but is a pity as the objects on display are stunning pieces from ancient China (as far back as 1500BC through to the early centuries AD).

The organisation of the displays was also really good (a little bit of lighting on the back of the items would be nice!) and the variety of objects was well described within a coherent narrative. People should see this...

China Institute is a great place to learn and explore Chinese art, history, language, music, culture, and people.

I have studied Mandarin here. The people who work and attend here are friendly and make the challenge feel less stressful and more fun.

I also studied calligraphy and the process is a great way to destress your work or life tensions and create new forms of expression in written words.

Highly recommend...
