Beijing: The Olympic Village in Beijing besides being an athlete's compound is also a place where the players can get to know Chinese culture.

The Chinese Traditional Arts and Crafts Show, located in the international area of the village, is part of the effort to offer the delegation members a full experience of Chinese culture. 27 Chinese folk artists are selected to demonstrate their skills in the Olympic Village from July 27 to Aug 27.

Live craft making ranges from New Year painting to paper-cuts, kites, embroidery, cloth artefacts, clay figurines, facial masks and much more.
