The event is aimed to display the achievements in art education by schools in Beijing,show the intelligences and spirit of Beijing youths,and provide an opportunity for the whole world to understand Chinese culture and the ancient capital city Beijing as well,and meanwhile,through communications with youths from countries across the world,to expose young students of Beijing to advanced culture of the world and fine art achievements.Over 1000 students and teachers of 11 delegations from Germany,South Korea,Japan,Malaysia,Hong Kong and Beijing participated in this event! During the Art Week,various delegations carried out exchanges in 5 fields,namely orchestra,wind band,traditional instrument orchestra,calligraphy,and painting.
I had joined this event with my Orchestra>> Malaysia ProArt Chinese Orchestra (马来西亚艺演华乐团) n i used to perform Erhu(二胡),which is a traditional chinese instrument with 2 strings. 

The 1st Day,
The plane v took from Bangkok 2 Beijing is actually delayed so v were almost late to the Opening Ceremony which held in Beijing University Centenniel Hall. After collecting all the luggages in the Airport 4 almoz an hour ,its already 7pm...n the ceremony starts at 8pm.So,v dun hav time 2 hav dinner somewhere else which its food is better than the plane's food! Finally, the organisation stuff bought us Mc'Donald's Pork Burger(板烧猪肉柳汉堡包) as our dinner...n v ate in the bus too due to the rush of time...

Bout 1 hour later...v arrived to the Beijing University Centenniel which is showed by the photos below...
