The Hamburg Culture Festival was held on the 11th of September. There were nearly two thousand people from eighty different countries displaying their own national culture in the festival. Falun Gong practitioners were invited again to join the annual event. With their excellent performances of drumming, lotus dancing and with a float decorated in a unique style, they displayed the heart of traditional Chinese culture. They received sustained applause from the people of Hamburg many times. Also, they were awarded the bronze medal, as well as a certificate of honour.
