At Yunlan Bay's Four Seasons Flower Field, the visitors wore various styles of Han and Tang clothing, which are traditional attire from the Han (206 BC-AD 220) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, evoking the image of ancient Chinese scholars. Guided by instructors, they took part in traditional Chinese games such as archery, pitch-pot (touhu), and cuju (ancient soccer).
"The soccer one was my favorite because I'm a big soccer fan, and it's good to see that traditional Chinese culture includes soccer games," said Lukundo Silungwe from Zambia.
