Listening to the rain is an
example of a union between the body and nature. The sound of the rain
combined with the unstable pulse of our mood serves to bridge today's time

Do you want to experience this kind of feeling? Then please stroll to
the Tingyu Lou, a building whose name literally means: "listening to the

Perhaps this is an unadulterated reflection of Wang's own
character.

people. Therefore, Wang believes Tingyu Lou has a responsibility to gather
China's outstanding artists and help them present their art to the
