Yao Hong Ying’s Embroidery Exhibition Receives Praise

Since the launch of the “Wonders of Embroidery – Yao Hong Ying Embroidery Art Exhibition” on the 28th of February, the exhibition has attracted over two hundred visitors and groups to Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery South Island.

Those who witnessed the amazing works of art could not stop praising it, and expressed that they felt obliged to spread the good news to the people around them, and some even felt the urge to gather groups for visits, so that many others can witness the spectacular exhibition for themselves. The Temple Reception also received numerous calls seeking information regarding guided tours of the Exhibition.
