Embassy of China in Washington Hosts Cultural Night on November 12 With Cuisine, Dance and Kung Fu
The Embassy of China in the United States hosted an 'Evening at the Embassy of China' cultural event in Washington on November 12 from 6:30 to 9 p.m., inviting the public into the embassy at 3505 International Place NW to experience Chinese culture and a winter holiday atmosphere.
Organized by Things to Do DC, the event featured a Chinese buffet, live Chinese dance performances, kung fu demonstrations and traditional Chinese music. Young embassy diplomats spoke with guests about Chinese culture, China-U.S. relations and travel to China.
The program also included a table tennis challenge, in which embassy table tennis experts and coaches demonstrated first and then invited guests to play, with prizes for winners. Other highlights included a giant panda meet-and-greet, Chinese calligraphy experiences and dessert making, while historical paintings, photographs and crafts inside the embassy were open for viewing, with embassy representatives explaining their significance.
The organizers noted that this was a cultural rather than political event, and that ticket proceeds are used only to organize multicultural activities and do not go to the embassy or its staff.
