Dongcheng Children's Palace Concert

Ararat residents have, once again, been entertained to a free concert by the Dongcheng District Children's Palace troupe.

Prior to their concert they paid a visit to Gum San where they enjoyed gold panning.

The teachers joined in the amusement

This time the entertainers were Primary school students with an average age of 10 years who sang and danced their way into our hearts. As with previous groups from this company, Ararat is the only provincial city to see these talented children perform. Usually these kinds of performances are strictly confined to the capital cities. We see them in Ararat because of our strong friendship links with China through Mr Tommy Xiang and AIMG Holdings operators of 3CW Chinese Radio.

Students and staff alike enjoyed their Gum San experience
