The troupe, hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, had staged their performance at the Afghan Presidential Palace a couple of days ago, where the majority of the audiences were the country's martyrs' children, besides senior officials.

The next performance of the art group would be in the central province of Bamyan.

Azada Ahmaid, a student of Chinese language at the Kabul University, said the performance, including Chinese dance and other Chinese culture, enthralled the students.

"This the first time I watch such a beautiful Chinese show. Afghan students will learn much from the beauty of Chinese culture through traditional Chinese dance, colorful costumes, and both ancient and contemporary music and theater," she said.
