Recently, China's tourism popularity has been soaring globally, with the implementation of the 144-hour visa-free transit policy attracting a large number of foreign tourists to China. "China Travel" has become the hottest tag on overseas social media platforms. A few days ago, the Dragon's Trail summer program of Wenzhou-Kean University entered Lucheng, inviting young American students to start a beautiful encounter with the culture of Lucheng, exploring its urban beauty and historical charm.
A city's museum is the best place to understand the local history and the changes of the times. When entering the Wenzhou Museum, young American students expressed that they felt like they were on a time machine, experiencing the grand cultural atmosphere and deep historical heritage of Wenzhou during the time travel."It's my first time seeing so many exquisite cultural relics, and the people of Wenzhou have preserved their history very well", said Nate, a sophomore student from the United States.
As the commercial center of the ancient city of Wenzhou, Wu Ma Street carries the nostalgic memories of countless Wenzhou people at home and abroad, and is known as "the first street of Wenzhou". A row of buildings with a style of the Republic of China era, a series of red lanterns made of Wenzhou paper... Walking in the prosperous Wu Ma Historical and Cultural Block, young American students wandered through the shops of the block, with great interest in tasting snacks and trying on traditional Chinese costumes, feeling the new charm of this old street.
Wen Rui Tang River is the mother river that connects the ancient Wenzhou city area, flowing deep in the memory of every generation of Wenzhou people. As night fell, young American students boarded the Tang River painting barge against the night, starting their night tour. The cruise ship moved forward slowly with the dreamlike drama performances on the shore, and in the interlaced light and shadow, a picture of Ou Yue that has passed through a thousand years slowly unfolded on the Nan Tang River. "Such a night is too beautiful, I saw the vitality of Lucheng from it, if there is an opportunity, I will come again", said Bai Zhiruo (Chinese name), a high school student from the United States , and after returning to the United States, she will "recommend" the beauty and fashion of Wenzhou to the people around her.
With the improvement of China's cultural influence, more and more foreign students like Nate and Bai Zhiruo are taking advantage of the summer vacation to come to China to experience Chinese culture in the form of summer camps. This is also a microcosm of the"Chinese cultural heat". Next, Lucheng will continue to "go out and invite in", attracting more international tourists to come to Lucheng, to make the wonderful stories of Lucheng become the fan-making materials for international tourists of "China travel", and to help the rapid development of China's inbound tourism.(Lin linwei)
