Over 30 families from the mainland and Taiwan took part in the two-day event, which was part of this year's Common Homeland Forum and aimed to promote exchanges between people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

The participants exchanged family cards for the convenience of future contact and gave performances for each other to enhance mutual understanding.
