The quiz, designed by experts at the Brazil Culture Center of Peking University and a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, covered questions about Brazilian and Chinese culture and tradition.

“This is an effective way to promote cultural exchange,” Liu said. “Many of the questions were not correctly answered, which shows both sides still have a lot to learn about each other,” she said.

Guests were treated to a performance of quadrilha, a traditional Brazilian dance that features couples dancing around a bride and groom.

An increasing number of Brazilians are coming to Beijing, though their population of 1,000 is relatively small compared to other foreign communities in town.
