A cultural event celebrating the upcoming Lantern Festival took place on Sunday, showcasing folk performances and traditional cuisine in Fuzhou, east China's Fujian Province.

Over 20 foreign teachers and students gathered to immerse themselves in Fujian's rich cultural heritage.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): PAUL JEFFREY BARRY, Australian teacher in Fuzhou
"The dragon dancing or lion dancing, maybe it's a mixture of both. That's always amazing. For me, today, the dancing was interesting; the (ethnic) minority dancing is really fascinating. I do like the Fuzhou Opera. In fact, I love local operas."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): IMADONMWINYI FAVOUR OSAHENRHUMWEN, Nigerian student in Fuzhou
"I watch Chinese dramas a lot and I got to know about a little of the Chinese culture there, and I find it very amazing. The tradition, the food... everything is amazing."

Participants also praised China's visa-free policy, highlighting its convenience and positive impact.

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): PAUL JEFFREY BARRY, Australian teacher in Fuzhou
"I think this is a step forward for China. The growth I have seen in China is amazing. I was here in 2005. I think it's such a beautiful country."

SOUNDBITE 4 (English): IMADONMWINYI FAVOUR OSAHENRHUMWEN, Nigerian student in Fuzhou
"I think it's amazing. It gives tourists more opportunities to be able to travel to China and spend more time absorbed in their culture, enjoy the food, and visit so many places. So I think it's a very good opportunity for foreigners."
