VANCOUVER Camiseta Yerry Mina Colombia , April 10 (Xinhua) -- If there's a place in Canada that you could call the perfect place for a photo-op, it might be in Fraser Valley, where over 30 acres of tulips in dozens of varieties make the perfect backdrop for the ideal selfie or the perfect portrait.

Since 2006, the two-week-long Tulips of the Valley Festival in the province of British Columbia, about 100 km east of Vancouver, has become an annual family-run spectacle in the valley. Since then, it has been growing in popularity every year after a local family first opened their commercial tulip fields to the public.

Now the fields cover a plot of about 35 acres, and includes roughly 25 varieties of tulips, and millions of tulip bulbs.

Kate Onos-Gilbert, the festival coordinator and daughter of the owner of the farmland, said the festival was first started with her dad.

"We've fields here, working fields for a long period of time and then my dad decided it was time for people to see it as well, so instead of just using it as working fields to get the bulbs, we wanted some people to enjoy the color that we have," she told Xinhua at the side of the colorful fields.

Onos-Gilbert said interest in the tulip fields has been surging each year. Only about 200 people came to see the tulips the first year, but last year more than 20,000 visitors turned up, and even more have been coming out this year armed with their cameras and their best poses.

"These last two years it' s really gotten significantly bigger, so this year we' re probably at least 30 percent higher than last year. We' re meeting the kind of the peak that we can get. We can' t get much bigger than this," she added.

Amateur photographer Dennis Yang has been here for several years. He said it provided a wonderful space to get fresh air with friends and offers plenty of photo opportunities of the flowers and nearby mountains.

"It' s so amazing. It' s so colorful here, you know. It' s very, very nice," he said with a broad smile.

The bulbs are planted in September over seven days using three tractors. The bulbs lay dormant over the winter, laying deep roots before poking above ground in February, and then blooming in April.

VIENTIANE, March 25 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese U-23 men's football team is in Laos' capital for AFC qualifying matches against the host nation, Mongolia and Singapore in Group J.

According to qualification rules, 10 teams who top their group will advance to the final in Qatar next year. They will be joined by five second-placed squads who have best result during the qualification round.

The Chinese team had its first training session at Vientiane's National Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Four members of the 23-man Chinese squad are from their clubs abroad, while others play in China's Super League.

The line-up is set to feature both Liu Binbin and Li Ang who competed in the recent 2015 Asian Cup held in Australia.

The team had already geared up in a week-long training camp in Guangzhou, China.

Team leader Guo Bingyan expressed confidence in the team's ability.

""Of course the target is to qualify for the final stage of the tournament,"" Guo said.

He dismissed the Southeast Asian nation's high temperature and humidity as an issue.

""They're all professional players so they know how to get themselves ready,"" Guo added.

China plays its first match against Mongolia in Vientiane on March 27, before meeting Singapore on March 29 and hosts Laos on March 31.

LONDON, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- The economic reform agenda outlined by the Chinese government late last year is heading in the right direction, said Nobel Prize in Economics winner Eric Maskin on Saturday.

The government has shown resolve to reduce social inequality, one of the risks facing China, Maskin told Xinhua on the sidelines of the China Development Forum at the London School of Economics.

Proposing his solution to the problem, he said, "One thing could be done there is to erect a stronger safety net and to provide better basic medical care to people at the bottom."

But the most important thing, according to the laureate, is to give the less wealthy and less skilled people the same opportunity to better education and training.

During his keynote speech at the forum, Maskin highlighted the importance of reducing inequality in poor countries, noting that the global market has not reduced income inequality despite its promise to bring prosperity to the poorer countries.

Maskin was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2007, jointly with Leonid Hurwicz and Roger Myerson, for having laid the foundation of mechanism design theory, a specialized form of game theory that attempts to maximize gains for all parties within markets.

You see this a lot if families have had their pools for a while. The task of swimming becomes dull and routine. The kids aren't interested, even though the pool has pristine water at the right temperature and is fully serviced. My family pool was like this, and I know why kids lose interest: after a while, the novelty wears off.

Once you've done your share of laps, flips, and floating, the pool loses its charm. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of activities that pool owners can do to make their pools endless sources of fun for children and adults of all ages. Want to have fun all summer long? Look into several of these activities.

Because younger children require a little more entertainment, you may wish to investigate the many diving games that are available for the pool. These will keep the most competitive child entertained on those hot summer days. If you use underwater objects that have varying weights, you can have them float in the water and have your kids dive for them. These water-ready objects are capable of floating, sinking to the bottom, or floating in-between. To save.
