Ali Sajjad from Islamabad, Pakistan, was captivated as he stood in the Meicun Erhu Industrial Park in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, as melodies from the traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument filled the air.

Ali was among 17 young guests from 12 countries who took part in a two-day cultural and developmental journey in Wuxi on Oct 27 and 28. He was particularly drawn to the erhu 's "unique sound" and intrigued by both its similarities and differences with Western string instruments like the violin. "China has a remarkable ability to preserve its traditional practices. It's a great experience to be here and see all of this," he said.

Wu culture has deep roots, originating in a region of Southeast China that includes parts of present-day Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. At the Hongshan Site Museum, the visitors explored relics of the ancient Wu civilization.

Akharraz Mo said he was impressed by the museum's use of advanced technologies to bring history to life. "The holograms make me feel like I am traveling through time to ancient history, seeing what's going on and feeling the emotion," he said.

On the evening of Oct 27, the group toured Wuxi's Meli Ancient Town by boat. As they passed lantern-lit streets and historic architecture, the students said they felt transported to another era.

Like Ali, Mae Leigh from the United States also marveled at China's achievements in historical preservation. She noted that while the US, as a relatively young nation, has limited historical depth, China dedicates great effort to protecting its heritage.

"I don't think any other country goes to the same lengths to do it," she said. "China works hard to ensure that young people and foreigners like us truly understand its culture and appreciate its beauty."

The group also visited the Wuxi Beauty and Wellness Industrial Park, where they explored the Jiangnan Meiwuan Research Institute and Dakesi, a domestic skincare brand.

Chayma Elyajizi from Morocco praised China's research-driven approach to beauty products and highlighted the collaboration among universities, enterprises, and the government.

Wuxi's cutting-edge logistics technologies also made a strong impression. At the FTI Park of SF Express - one of China's leading logistics companies - the group observed automated sorting systems and AI-powered delivery networks in action.

Throughout the trip, the young visitors emphasized the value of cultural exchange in today's interconnected world, noting Wuxi's role as both a cultural and technological bridge between China and the rest of the world.
