A group of African-American students from Clark Atlanta University on a cultural communications trip to China enjoyed a day of fun with students from Beijing Foreign Studies University on Saturday.

More than 200 students from both sides met, making it the largest gathering of its kind between Chinese and African-American students in recent years, said Chen Yi, a project director with the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Beijing and Hong Kong that supports the program.
