International students envoys of Chinese culture

Since its launch in May, the contest, hosted by the International School of Tongji University, has attracted participation from nearly 100 international students who shared their personal experiences and insights gained from their life and studies in China, serving as a platform to cultivate cross-cultural understanding among international students.

The day before the final, the organizers arranged for the 17 participants to visit Shanghai's Jiading district, in a bid to enhance their understanding of China's industrial progress and food culture. The students viewed the manufacturing process of automobiles at SAIC Volkswagen in Anting town and engaged in making steamed buns.
