A summer cultural exchange program recently brought together students from the University of Central Missouri, USA, and China's Hengshui University, fostering friendships and deep cross-cultural understanding in Hebei province.

The 10-member delegation from America joined their Chinese peers in Hengshui for activities centered on "cultural mutual learning, ecological appreciation, and heritage preservation".

"This exchange program created a valuable platform for the American teachers and students, allowing them to experience traditional Chinese culture in depth," said Ma Yunyan, director of the international cooperation and exchange center at Hengshui University.
