Local residents, embassy staff and international students immersed themselves in French romance and intangible cultural heritage during the “Charming Beijing” themed China-France cultural exchange on July 6.
Participants first tried their hand at making Chinese dough figurines before they enjoyed an extraordinary performance by the French classical music group Trio Wanderer.
The faces of those who attended tell us exactly why such cultural events can bridge the past and present, and the distance between East and West.
