A delegation of approximately 190 students and teachers from 14 high schools across seven US states has embarked on their Shanghai journey, marking the final stop of their exchange program, Shared Journey of Friendship, in China.

The delegation hails from schools with deep-rooted connections to China, including Lincoln High School in Washington State, Muscatine High School in Iowa, and Niles North High School in Illinois. The group also includes students from schools in California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming, marking their inaugural organized visit to China.

Throughout their journey, which has taken them through Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Fuzhou, and Hangzhou before reaching Shanghai, these American youths have engaged in dynamic interactions with local Chinese students, immersing themselves in the rich cultural tapestry of each city.

Zenya Kontos, a 17-year-old delegate from Niles West High School, shared her enthusiasm: "I've made so many friends at every school we've visited. People are coming up to me, asking me to connect on WeChat. I'm excited to keep in touch with them. Everyone has been super sweet and super respectful."
