Source countries have been expanded, among which Asian countries occupy around 45 percent while European and African countries around 20 percent. The rich and varied student activities have become one of characteristics of DHU’s international education. Some popular clubs available are the International Student Association, iTalk Language and Culture Exchange Club and International Student Arts Troupe. Not only over 10 clubs are offered for international students every semester, but also brand activities are held every year, such as the 12th “Dragon Cup” Sport Games, 9th “Phoenix” Talent Competition, 8th “China Hand” Knowledge Contest, 6th International Cultural Festival and 2nd China Cultural Festival.
