Acting Shenzhen Mayor Wang Rong received the Universiade flag from George E. Killian, president of the International University Sports Federation at the closing ceremony of the 25th Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia, on Sunday.

Wang said the southern Chinese city is preparing to host the international sports event in 2011.

Traditional Chinese folk music, including "Jasmine Flower" and the Guangdong song "Stepping High," were staged at a special 20-minute session for Shenzhen as a display of cultural variety.
