4. Free art exhibition tickets and drinks plus discounted supper

Right next to the wetland park is an art museum. FEI Arts (扉美术馆), in collaboration with Haizhu Wetland, is presenting the exhibition project "Pottery: Earth Within Me" (陶·土於我).

The exhibition features artist Wu Lou's seven-year field study of a rural dragon kiln and old beehives from a local villager from Shangyong Village, Guangzhou. The exhibition recreates the potters' and Guangdong people's intelligent and nature-compliant production methods, reflecting on the wisdom lost to technological advancement.
