A photo exhibition featuring the history and folk culture of China's capital is being staged in Copenhagen this week to "further introduce the ancient city while extending an invitation to overseas visitors", organizers said.

In addition to the photo gallery, kung fu shows, Chinese drum performances, acrobatics, Chuan Opera and an exhibition on Beijing's intangible cultural heritage will also be presented as part of the ongoing Beijing Week event.

The aim of the event is to boost Beijing's inbound tourism and introduce more European visitors to the city, according to the Beijing Tourism Development Commission.
