Paintings are everywhere. They're on the external walls and even the fences of cottages in Qingshui village of Changchun, Jilin province.

They are the work of more than 20 teachers from Jilin University of Arts, who came to the village and created pictures, including colorful flowers, vivid animals and magnificent farmland. They turned the village into a visual extravaganza.
