We have further included the cultural stroke to the 1st Asian Sports Gala, in which the native artists from the participating countries would be performing their traditional art of music and dance, such as Dragon dance, whirling dervishes etc.
All of the activities before and during the 1st Asian Sports Gala, such as 2nd Asian Ju-Jitsu and Belt Wrestling Championship 2008, supporting sports, cultural stroke, anchor on one single point: to propagate “Play for Peace”. General public will have a chance to experience all healthy activities at one single venue.
