Amman TAG Confucius Institute Attends Jordan International City Festival

On April 28th, the International City Festival was held in the Zaha Cultural Center in Jordan, and Princess Sana Asem of Jordan attended the event. Representative agencies from more than 20 countries and regions, including Jordan, China, Russia, Brazil, Turkey, Thailand, Lebanon, Romania, and Egypt, displayed their culture in various forms such as exhibitions, music, dance, painting, and cuisine, which attracted nearly a thousand local people to visit and experience the event. The Amman TAG Confucius Institute and the Chinese Embassy in Jordan on behalf of China participated in this event.

China’s exhibition area is the largest one of all the exhibition areas. The strong “Chinese style” in the exhibition area is refreshing. The bright five-star red flag, bright red lanterns, colorful balloons, auspicious Chinese knots and paper cutting character “fu”, unique pendants and other decorations attracted many viewers to stop to watch.
