EVERY Autumn since 1998, the Beijing International
Tourist Culture Festival has taken place on Ping'an (Peace)
Avenue in the capital of China. It is a time of great joy and
hilarity as performing troupes from dozens of countries demonstrate
their colorful folklore and sing for peace, friendship and progress
for people around the world. This grand gathering of peoples
of different color and race indicates the extent of opening
and rapid growth of Beijing and the whole of China.
