Nearly 2,000 kids from 23 countries and regions in the world gathered in Shanghai on July 30, 2007 for a 4-day grand art carnival, the Shanghai International Children's Cultural Festival, which is held every 3 years.
Though Shanghai is witnessing the hottest summer in 60 years, the kids' passion for arts is even hotter. They have presented a colorful folk art show, including kungfu, African folk dance, etc. In the next few days, the kids will visit Han Zheng, the mayor of Shanghai, and then travel around the city to enjoy Shanghai lifestyle.
