To celebrate the 10th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Montenegro, an exhibition of the traditional villages of the two countries was held at the Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture in Beijing, on Aug 15.

Among the 120 panels at the exhibition, some 60 were about the geographic features of the south, middle and north parts of Montenegro and its regional architecture. There was also a comparison and analysis of the historical villages from the 18th to 19th century in the country.
