"The courses are welcomed by parents and students with high aspirations and interest ... and the event bears fruit with the work displays around here," said Wu Shanxiong, chairman of the UK (United Kingdom) Association for the Promotion of Chinese Education and one of the organizers of the Chinese culture event.

Wu, who lives in Newcastle in northeast England, told Xinhua that similar events had been successful there as well as in London, and he expected the Chinese culture learning camp would be brought to more cities across Britain to enlighten more overseas Chinese descendants with the rich history of the Chinese culture.

Helen Skulina, a Qigong fan who is half Polish and Scottish and former social worker at Edinburgh City Council, said she saw the event as a good way to promote understanding between different cultures, and was much impressed by the final performance, attended by hundreds.

Since 2011, the Chinese culture paradise trip has served as a platform to promote overseas cultural exchange and cooperation in dozens of countries including Britain, Portugal, South Korea, France, Australia and Fiji, among others.
