The Pingshan Subdistrict International Block hosted the “Hello, Pingshan” Chinese and International Youth Cultural Exploration Event on Aug. 23. Chinese and international students rode SkyShuttle trains and enjoyed a unique journey filled with cultural discoveries and engaging activities at the Pingshan Library and the Pingshan Exhibition Gallery.

On board a SkyShuttle train, a tour guide introduced Pingshan’s distinctive culture and landmark buildings in English. At the library, participants learned about Chinese tea culture and tried their hand at painting. At the gallery, they visited the “Cute Pet Planet” exhibition, filling the hall with laughter and joy.

Nazir Nayab, a Pakistani student at Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, said, “During the trip I interacted with Chinese students who spoke English very well — it was a truly wonderful experience.”
