Cross-culture event in Hainan explores understanding

Initiated and organized by students of the Yenching Academy at Peking University, YGS 2023 works to piece together the picture of China and the world and helps delegates gain enriching experience, meet new people and discover new ideas.

While panel discussions gave delegates the latest insights and ideas that are powering current research, site visits provided the delegates a window into how those emerging ideas and technologies are applied.

By visiting the Yangpu Economic Development Zone and Jiahe Shared Farm in Danzhou, delegates got a sense of Hainan's vibrant economic and cultural landscapes.

Tan, the chairman, said the visit to the Yangpu International Container Terminal in the Yangpu Economic Development Zone was a memorable moment for him.

"Delegates had a rare and exclusive opportunity to understand the working mechanisms and latest technologies of the port, which is integral to Hainan province's economic development. It was also a once-in-a-lifetime chance to observe the port up close," he added.
