Ahead of the Paris Olympics, the China House was launched at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild in the French capital on Wednesday. It has welcomed both the Parisian public and visitors from across the world, including Olympic volleyball champion Hui Ruoqi and Chinese diving legend He Chong, to its galleries, exhibits, demonstration events and social-networking activities on the sidelines of the Summer Games. Visitors to the China House can also try their hands at some ancient forms of Olympic sports, such as pitch-pot, an ancient form of modern archery that is a test of accuracy and skill, as participants attempt to throw arrows into a distant pot.
