1. What kinds of public events are popular in your country? I am sure you know how much Chinese people like singing. As a result, many concerts are
organized on a weekly basis in my city, and I am certain that it's pretty much the same all around
the country. In addition, many sports events take place all year round: professional basketball and
football games bring together quite a lot of fans. I think that each city is recognized for a specific
public event: Xiamen hosts a stunning marathon along the beach, with fifty thousand runners in
2010; Harbin has the impressive Ice Festival and
371
Canton organizes the China Import and Export Fair, which attracts thousands of visitors
every year.
