 ◆ Tianjin TV Festival Held in Macao

The northern China city of Tianjin, though over a thousand miles away, will not be strange any more to residents in Macao special administrative region (SAR), as the Tianjin TV Festival started here recently.

In the coming fortnight, the Macao residents can enjoy splendid programs provided by Tianjin TV Station and broadcast at a Chinese channel of the Macao Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), the major TV and broadcasting media in the SAR, every night.

The Macao audience will know about the progress in all aspects and folklore of Tianjin through six categories of programs including "a new look of Tianjin", "local arts and crafts" and "entertainment service", Director Zhang Jianguo of Tianjin TV Station told Xinhua on May 16.

Tianjin's operas and comic dialogues are especially expected to impress the Macao people, he said.

Zhang hoped Tianjin people will one day watch TV programs from Macao, too.

The authorities said that the TVB will be devoted to art and cultural exchanges between Macao and China's inland by holding TV festivals in Nanning, Changchun, Guangzhou and Beijing this year.
