A major Chinese-African cultural exchange program -- African Culture In Focus 2008 -- kicked off in this southern Chinese city on October 23.
The program brought together 147 artists, performers and cultural officials from 25 African countries for 11 days of dance performance, exhibitions and conferences on cultural exchanges in the southern Guangdong Province city that borders Hong Kong.
At Thursday's opening ceremony, seven African performing groups gave spectators an exotic performance at the "Window of World" tourist attraction.
"It was a wonderful performance," Liberian ambassador of culture, Juli Endee said after the show. "All the people here could enjoy different cultures, and such diversity would be further improved by such an exchange program."
