A sculpture exhibition on environmental protection opened Saturday on Wangfujing Street, the busiest commercial street in Beijing.
The around 100 sculptures, mostly made of waste materials such as wine bottles and steel, have attracted large crowds.
The exhibition was jointly sponsored by the capital's sculpture management office and the Beijing Arts Association. Citizens are able to visit for free for the next 30 days.
The sponsors said that through the exhibition, they call for a spirit of harmonious coexistence with nature among the public.
"The sculptures not only provide us with the beauty of art, but also lead us to rethink our current lifestyle," said a visitor.
