Chinese roadshow

Nearly 200 performers from Beijing and Xiamen will present a family celebration of Chinese culture in Wellington this month.

The Chinese Festival, from September 18 to 23, includes a Beijing Cultural Week and Xiamen Day, and all events are free. There is traditional opera, folk music, art and craft demonstrations, a photographic exhibition and the Beijing Family Showcase of acrobatics, dance, music and song.

It is part of an international road show organised by Beijing ahead of its hosting the 2008 Olympics.
