Welcome to the First Saturday PDX sixteenth year of sharing China-related subjects! We have an exciting new collection of programs beginning September 10, 2016 running through June 10, 2017.
Presentations will include topics of Tang Dynasty Tea Poetry, Chinese Literati Gardens, accomplished film director Zhang Yimou, Baguazhang Martial Arts, a tour of the Rhododendron Garden and cross cultural relationships in China with The Manchus, The Mongolians and The Uyghurs.

This location has an elevator and is wheelchair friendly, with unrestricted viewing and comfortable desks for note taking.
