The event started with a grand concert entitled "Magical Silk Road" held in the Center for culture and arts of Kiev Polytechnic University.

During the show, 13 performances, including traditional and modern songs of western China and bright dances with elements of acrobatics and martial arts were performed on the stage.

Chinese artists also charmed the Ukrainian public with a play on erhu, a Chinese two-stringed instrument with a more than 1,000-year history, which is also known as a "Chinese violin."
