A number of Chinese cultural and folk art performances were recently presented at an exhibition of Chinese culture put together for the Kazakh people. Many local visitors turned up to experience the China Cultural Heritage Exhibition, a part of "Experience China 2016," a large scale event opened in Kazakhstan on Aug. 26.
Nearly 40 Chinese folk artists demonstrated traditional folk crafts including pottery, embroidery, Chinese shadow puppetry, paper-cutting, dough sculpture, sugar blowing and gourd pyrography. In addition, qigong, acrobatics, tea ceremonies and folk dance were also on show.

A local woman who attended the exhibition said that, although China and Kazakhstan are neighboring countries, their mutual understanding of one another is so far insufficient. Believing that such activities help the Kazakh people to gain a deeper understanding of China, she said she hopes the two countries will hold more events like "Experience China 2016" in the future.

In addition, as a major part of the cultural activities, a large gala with the theme "Silk Road" was held in Almaty on Aug. 29. At the gala, performances of kung-fu, acrobatics, Sichuan opera and Peking opera all demonstrated the beauty of Chinese culture.
