A six-day culture and tourism festival ended Wednesday at Lingshi County in north China's Shanxi Province.

A seminar on ancient architecture, a show on traditional Chinese garments and numerous performances of local operas, folk art and drum dancing were held during the festival.

A trade fair on tourism products was also held during the festival, which was sponsored by the county government.

Lingshi is well known for its protected residential houses built long ago in ancient architectural styles.

To increase local culture and tourism attractions, the county has invested more than 300 million yuan to reconstruct its infrastructure projects and cultural facilities in recent years.
