Shandong Special: Foreign performers touring Shandong

To warm up for the upcoming China Arts Festival, more than 50 performances presented by foreign art groups have been staged or scheduled in cities across Shandong, said a senior official from Shandong Department of Culture.

Li Guolin, deputy chief of the department, said that these shows feature performers from countries such as Russia, Spain, France, the US, Canada and India.

To give more people the chance to enjoy these exotic performances at home, a special fund has been allocated by the provincial government as a subsidy to help people afford tickets, Li said.
