Ruzhou will conduct cultural activities in many aspects to enrich local people's spiritual and cultural life this year, according to the Ruzhou Publicity Department.

In the spring time, the city conducted many folk activities closely related to China's important traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Dragon Boat Festival.

From May to September, the city will hold low cost, outdoor activities such as art shows, speech contests and chorus competitions.

Activities that are easy to learn and are mentally stimulating, such as acrobatics, magic and unique folk skill performances, may also be popular with citizens.

Moreover, the city will send performance caravans to rural areas so that people in the villages won't have to travel to the cities to enjoy the shows.

Movie Week will also be held to introduce more great films to the public.

Sports activities will also play an important part. Companies and schools are required to host various sports games, such as mountain climbing and martial arts contests, to help people build good health.

The city will also select and cultivate talents in arts and sports to help people learn more about various cultural activities and encourage participation.
