The 5th Beijing Salon was held at Tianbao Runde Antique Exhibition Center on May 26 and more than 100 foreigners attempted to make Chinese knots, a decorative handicraft artwork.

Co-hosted by Beijing This Month magazine and Beijing Foreign Culture Exchange Center, the salon is a monthly cultural event and aims to show foreigners the beauty of Beijing culture.

Kunqu Opera, the Lantern Festival, Chinese folk music, and the culture of kites were previous themes.
