Welcome to another Friday Roundup. We hope you have all been enjoying the warmer weather this past week.
Today's Chinese Conversation Corner looks at popular sports in China and the changing attitudes towards health and fitness. Join us online today at 4pm to learn more.
In a couple weeks we will be hosting on online dumpling making workshop international students both in Australia and abroad. We are beginning to receive a lot of workshop bookings and would like to remind you that we are available to come out and visit schools or community groups for cultural workshops at your request.
This week's image was taken by Ruby at the Humble Administrator's Garden 拙政园 in Suzhou. If you have your own images of China to share with us don't forget to send them in!
