Recently, several groups of overseas study tour teams have traveled to various regions to conduct exchange activities, immersing themselves in the urban landscapes, cutting-edge technologies, distinctive industries, and traditional culture of China, using study tours as a bond to enhance friendship between China and other countries.
Two groups of 39 Malaysian students arrived in Harbin for a week-long study tour. Participants attended lectures on national conditions, participated in the opening ceremony, and visited various laboratories, museums, and well-known enterprises to gain a deeper understanding of local industrial development. They strolled along Central Street, visited city landmarks such as the St. Sophia Cathedral, and toured historical exhibition halls, appreciating the city’s culture and history. They also experienced cutting-edge technologies such as drones and robotic dogs firsthand, feeling the charm of scientific innovation. Folk customs such as Chinese character engraving and dumpling making were full of fun, allowing everyone to experience traditional Chinese culture up close. At the end of the trip, organizers awarded certificates of completion to students, and the group departed smoothly in batches for their return journeys.
A 24-day study tour themed smart agriculture and cultural exchange was held in Taizhou, with dozens of overseas agricultural students participating.
The tour focused on core technologies such as smart agriculture, plant tissue culture, plant protection drones, and the Internet of Things in agriculture. Participants visited agricultural research institutes, agricultural enterprises, and digital agriculture bases, combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice. The program also included a variety of intangible cultural heritage and folk custom activities such as straw weaving, pottery, flower arranging, paper cutting, and Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) experiences. Participants also visited ancient cities and temples to experience local customs and traditions. At an agricultural culture salon, Chinese and foreign youths discussed traditional agricultural civilization.
Ten students from Uzbekistan arrived in Beijing for a week-long exchange program.
The delegation toured the campus, attended the opening ceremony, and systematically studied Chinese in bilingual class. In their spare time, they made traditional sachets and wind chimes, learned Chinese Kung Fu, and experienced traditional folk culture. The group also visited the Juyongguan Great Wall, appreciating the magnificent scenery.
From the ice city of Harbin in the north to Taizhou in the south, and then to Beijing, young students from all over the world traveled across China, gaining knowledge and insights. In the future, we will continue to build international exchange platforms, promote the deep integration of Chinese and foreign cultures, education, and industries, and ensure that transnational friendships endure.
