The Sino-Japan mass sports exchange kicked off Saturday in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

The event featuring four sports - badminton, table tennis, tennis and volleyball, will run until Wednesday. More than sixty Japanese athletes from different walks of life will be competing with their Chinese counterparts.

"We hope to exchange experiences with Chinese people, as well as to enhance the mutual understanding and friendship," said the head of Japanese delegation.
