The Quzhou of 50 years ago was showcased in a collection of paintings by Gao Lei, a renowned architect in China.

"Quzhou is my second hometown," said Gao, while reminiscing about the city. In the 1960s Gao's father started working in Quzhou and although Gao did not grow up in the city, he went to Quzhou every vacation when he would wander about it to paint things of interest, which later made it into his oeuvre of art works.
