The 6th Chinese National Peasants' Games

The city of Quanzhou in the Fujian province welcomes the competition this year. The « Peasants' Games » have taken place every 4 years since 1988. More than 6,000 peasant athletes contest in more than 200 events.

Besides traditional athletic events, basketball, ping-pong, imagine a series of traditional peasants sports such as a dragon boat regatta or a line fishing competition, kite flying, lion dancing or aerobic chanting.
