Tang Guocai, Consul General of China in Mumbai, said that cultural exchanges between China and India are on the rise.

The dragon and lion dances are traditional dances popular among Chinese people. Guangzhou's lion dance performances in India served as a showcase for the city's unique culture, Tang said.
