Last year, the Chongqing-ASEAN Youth Theatre Exchange Initiative was launched for 50 schools in Chongqing and 50 in 10 ASEAN countries — Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam.

"The group showed strong interest in Sichuan Opera costumes and makeup," said Tan Jun of the art center, adding that they also learned about its history, development and current status.

Later, the opera troupe at the center interacted with the group and presented a two-hour-play, The Legend of the White Snake, a popular Chinese folk tale.
