A show mixing sportswear fashion with local traditional tangible cultural heritage performance was staged to welcome the upcoming Paris Olympics and the third anniversary of the introduction of "Quanzhou: Emporium of the World in Song-Yuan China" to the World Heritage List in Beijing on Tuesday.

Models dressed in sport brands made in Quanzhou featuring traditional culture designs like Quanzhou marionette (Quanzhou-style string puppet) rubbed shoulders with traditional culture performers on the catwalk. Spectators also experienced the local tea culture and Shaolin martial arts culture.

Quanzhou, well-known as city of manufacturing, is home to industrial clusters including textile clothing, shoes, food and furniture building materials. Sports brands including Anta and Peak are official sponsors to the Chinese delegation, some other sport delegations and International Olympic Committee working staff.
