A spectacular fusion of athleticism and culture, the 3rd Traditional Sports International Festival — held last week in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province — provided a unique platform to experience China's traditional sports and cultures, as well as encourage exchanges between the nearly 800 athletes from 39 countries and regions who participated.
This year's festival saw a notable increase in scale, with participants competing in five diverse disciplines: Go, wushu, qigong, dragon and lion dances, and kite flying.
