Out of Africa

( 2008-08-04 )

Zimbabwe is one of the more mysterious countries of the vast continent that is Africa.

It is populated by descendants of the Bantu tribes, who migrated from the north around the 10th century and evidence of their mainly pastoral lifestyle can still be seen in the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, near the present-day town of Masvingo.

The country also offers some of the best wildlife parks in southern Africa. From the forested mountains to the grasslands of Hwange National Park, from the hot Mopani Forest to the shores of Lake Kariba, they tempt tourists to explore and get close to nature.

A photographic exhibition, Chinese Photographers Walking into Africa's Paradise, is on display in Beijing until August 25.

It features 140 photographs by 12 photographers from the Chinese Photographers' Association, including Yu Yuntian, Jiang Jurong and Zhang Ye, who visited the local people, tribes and wild animals at Matopo National Park, Zambezi River and Victoria Falls.

Besides its long history and breathtaking wildlife parks, Africa also has a long Olympic history, which is being celebrated by an Africa and Olympic Culture Exhibition at Capital Library.

Using pictures, paintings, multimedia images and other means, the exhibition explores Africa's Olympic culture in depth. It documents the outstanding achievements of African athletes in previous Olympics and Paralympic Games, as well as paying tribute to their work with the International Olympic
Committee.
