The first stop was the Gabei wild vine base. A bunch of plump and juicy grapes hung on the branches, emitting an attractive fragrance. People walked under the grape vines and picked ripe grapes by hand to experience the fun of picking.
"I grew up in the countryside, so I'm interested in country life," said Diess from Kazakhstan, who was picking as he spoke. "It was a fun experience. The countryside here is different from my hometown, and I want to come back for more."

Anna from Russia said, "This is my second time to come to Shaoxing. It was a very interesting experience. I have learned Chinese and Chinese culture in Russia, and I can appreciate the charm of Chinese culture more in daily life after coming to China."
The Hangzhou Bay Embodied Intelligence Innovation Center in Cao'ejiang Economic Development Zone showcased cutting-edge technologies injecting fresh momentum into urban development.

While listening to the robot's explanation, the volunteers recorded the robot's wonderful performance with their cameras; while the overseas students interacted with the intelligent robot curiously and experienced the convenience and fun brought by technology.
Stepping into the exhibition hall of Songxia Friendship Fenuo Umbrella Industry, visitors are immediately greeted by the innovative fusion of modern design. International students enthusiastically try out the products. When they learned that crafting a simple umbrella from design to finished product involves dozens of processes and incorporates modern technological elements like windproofing and waterproofing, everyone couldn't help but give it a thumbs-up.
The students also experienced coloring umbrellas and drawing their favorite patterns.
The final stop of this immersive experience was set in Jiangnan. The elegant live scenery drew international students to snap photos and capture the light and shadow effects with their phones and cameras. Participants even got hands-on experience with traditional printing techniques, taking home their personalized artworks. Later, they boarded a painted pleasure boat to cruise around the lake, where the scenery along the banks shifted with the waves, creating a unique charm.
