From June 19 to July 2, these young people will learn Chinese culture and traditional arts such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture and martial arts, visit Wuhan's renowned tourist attractions such as the Yellow Crane Tower, the Hubei Provincial Museum and East Lak Greenway, as well as stay with local families to learn more about Chinese life.

"It is a great honor to be here," said Hanna Karlsson at the inauguration ceremony on behalf of all the campers. She thought that this summer camp will provide a good opportunity for them to make friends from different countries and learn Chinese culture.

Soma Villányi once met mayor of Wuhan in Hungary which aroused his interest in this city with long history, many lakes and rivers. He said Chinese martial arts is his most anticipated program and expected a good time in Wuhan.
