On average, 10 to 14 sports events and competitions are organized annually per district, town, or city; cultural and artistic activities organized by local departments and organizations are vibrant and attract a large number of participants of all ages and backgrounds. Generally, the system of cultural and sports facilities at the commune level has established management boards, assigning responsibility to commune-level cultural officials; activities mainly serve meetings, political events, and cultural activities at the grassroots level. Village and neighborhood cultural centers play an important role as venues for community and people's organizations in residential areas.
