Jointly organised by Lingnan University and the Chamber of Young Snow, the Chinese culture academic seminar "The Peak of Visual Art — Northern Song Landscape Painting" was held on 2 January 2026 at Lingnan@WestKowloon. 

The event featured esteemed speaker Dr Stephen Suen, Founder of the Chamber of Young Snow, who presented a comprehensive view of the era's artistic achievements. Moving from technical execution to aesthetic theory, Dr Suen provided an in-depth analysis of three legendary masterpieces: Fan Kuan’s Travelers Among Mountains and Streams, Guo Xi’s Early Spring, and Li Tang’s Wind in the Pines Among a Myriad Valleys. This seminar offered the public a unique opportunity not only to see these three national treasures, but also to engage in a profound aesthetic and philosophical dialogue with history. 

Dr Suen is passionate about Chinese art and culture, and his contribution to and support of Lingnan University are of great significance. The Chamber of Young Snow Art Exhibition Hall, Lingnan University, which was generously subsidised by the Chamber of Young Snow, has become a valuable resource for promoting Chinese art and history at the University, an essential hub where students can learn to appreciate cultural heritage, study new artistic forms, and gain experience in exhibition curation.
