Taste of local life for 'young ambassadors'

Some 104 "young ambassadors" from around the world are spending four days in Nanjing as the city prepares for the Youth Olympic Games in August.

The ambassadors were invited to experience the city and its culture so they can give a good introduction and act as guides to athletes in their delegations, said a staff member from the organizing committee.

Cultural and educational events are a crucial part of the Youth Olympic Games, according to a statement from the organizing committee.
