Jinan Youth's Korean Journey—A Growth Journey of Exploration and Exchange

　　Jinan and Suwon, South Korea, are sister cities. For many years, the Jinan Youth Palace and the Suwon Youth Cultural Center have cooperated to conduct mutual visits, cultural and artistic exchanges, teacher exchanges, and exhibitions for Chinese and Korean youth.

　　During this summer vacation, a group of youth from Jinan traveled to Suwon, South Korea, embarking on an exciting and meaningful exchange visit.

　　The itinerary was rich and varied. The youth visited the Suwon Insect Museum, where they explored the fascinating world of insects and gained extensive biological knowledge. They also took part in interesting agricultural experiences, enjoying the pleasures of rural life. In addition, they watched a mermaid performance at Aqua Planet Aquarium, experiencing the magic and beauty of marine life.

　　At Lotte World Amusement Park, the youth enjoyed various thrilling and fun rides. The visit to Lotte World Tower provided them with a panoramic view of the city, leaving a deep impression. Following this, they visited Hwaseong Fortress, immersing themselves in Korea's historical and cultural heritage.

　　The exchanges between Chinese and Korean youth provided a platform for overcoming national, cultural, and language barriers, allowing them to directly interact with and understand each other's lifestyles, values, and cultural traditions. This exchange activity not only enhanced the friendship between the youth of China and South Korea but also promoted cultural exchange and integration, offering valuable experiences and broadening the horizons for the growth and development of the youth from both countries.
