Founded in 1954, the orchestra is now the only official institute in the coastal city to present such a form of music.
The orchestra was received by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1957 when it was invited to perform in Beijing. It has also been invited to perform in many countries, including France, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Nanyin originated in Xiamen's neighboring city of Quanzhou, but the Nanyue Orchestra has its own style of singing and performing, said the orchestra's president, Yang Xueli.
Yang started to learn Nanyin in 1989. "Traditional performing techniques are now being added with our own style to make a more enjoyable presentation of the art," she said.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
