Co-sponsored by several Beijing governmental organizations and some related groups in Taiwan, the Beijing-Taiwan Tourism Seminar themed "Meet in Olympics, Travel in Beijing" and a photo gallery exhibit entitled "New Beijing, New Olympics" are scheduled for May 20 to 29 in Taipei and Kaohsiung.


The seminar aims at informing Taiwan's tourism community of Beijing's Olympics-related tourism resources as well as some tourism products designed especially for Taiwan residents, including the "Pre-Olympics Tour," "Olympics City through the Lens," "Golf Tour," and "Hot Spring Tour," etc.


This will be the first time for the "New Beijing, New Olympics" photo gallery exhibit to be displayed in Taiwan. The exhibit, which includes 58 pictures divided amongst the three categories of "serene ancient capital," "lively metropolis," and "rhythmic life," will be exhibited in several universities, colleges and high schools throughout Taiwan.


The Beijing hosts of the event will also bring about 500 gifts to Taiwan including "Friendlies" --- the mascots of the 2008 Beijing Olympics --- and books on the Olympics for middle school students.
