On November 7-8, the Nanchong People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, North Sichuan Medical College (NSMC), China West Normal University, and Nanchong Vocational and Technical College jointly organized the “Discover Nanchong, Embrace Rural Beauty” Rural Revitalization Experience. This themed event saw participation from three international graduate students and three foreign faculty members from our college.
On November 7, the group of NSMC international students and foreign faculty toured Shengzhong Lake Scenic Area and Linjiangping Village. They marveled at the grandeur of the Shengzhong Reservoir Dam, admired the unique sculptures at the Hailuo Square, and gained deeper insights into the historical and cultural significance of the Shengzhong Lake region. The group then proceeded to Linjiangping Village, where they experienced firsthand the remarkable outcomes of rural revitalization and immersed themselves in the local fishing culture. On November 8, the delegation continued their journey to Tonggu Township and the Tonggeng Courtyard in Yilong County. In Tonggu Township, they visited a sericulture rural revitalization project, gaining in-depth knowledge of the development of the sericulture industry. At the Tonggeng Courtyard, they actively participated in a variety of vibrant folk activities and created their own paper-cutting artwork at the Paper-cutting Museum, deeply appreciating the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
This “Discover Nanchong, Embrace Rural Beauty” event allowed our international students and foreign faculty to gain a profound understanding of Nanchong’s rural revitalization strategy, along with its local culture and natural landscapes. It also fostered greater familiarity with and appreciation for traditional Chinese culture. In the future, our college will continue to organize more cross-cultural exchange activities, offering international students and foreign faculty more opportunities to explore China and further strengthen international friendship and cooperation.
