Expat group discovers cultural diversity of Wuxi

A group of expats from six different countries, including the United Kingdom, Bangladesh and Botswana, joined the latest Discover WND (Wuxi National Hi-Tech District) trip in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, on May 15.
During their trip, they joined the celebrations for an International Day event held at Boston International School, as well as taking in the scenery of Taihu Lake at Daxigang Wetland Park later that afternoon.
At the school, the group watched a colorful parade featuring the flags of countries from around the world. They also toured the various stalls set up for the event, with many of them trying their hands at Chinese cultural traditions such as making sugar paintings, creating paper cuttings and playing the erhu.
Chen Shasha, a professional erhu player from Meicun neighborhood entertained attendees with the Beautiful Taihu Lake, a local song played using the two-stringed instrument.
