MORE than 40 children from Taiwan recently attended the Straits Youth Camp in Minhang to enjoy cultural exchanges with mainland children.
It was the first time the Taiwan students, mostly from poor families in Taipei and Pingdong County, had visited the Chinese mainland.
They took part in simplified Chinese classes, learned about traditional Henan Opera, tried painting Peking Opera masks, practised some simple martial arts, flew Kongming lanterns, visited Zhujiajiao watertown to paint, and tasted dim sum in Qibao Old Street.
The children also visited some of Shanghai's famous landmarks including the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Bund and other tourist venues.
"It was a great opportunity for me to learn more about traditional Chinese culture and see more of the mainland. I will share what I've seen and learned here back home with my fellow students," said Lin Juan, a fifth-grader from the Dongyuan Primary School in Taipei.
"The camp sets out to establish an exchange platform between children from the mainland and Taiwan," said Li Menglin, a government official. "We hope they can carry forward the splendor of Chinese culture."
