The “China-Russia Youth Yangtze River Tour” to Charming Jiangxi is a sub-project of the Yangtze River-Volga University Alliance’s “China-Russia Youth Yangtze River Tour”. Through diverse activities such as art workshops, cultural salons, ecological lectures, field trips, and social gatherings, the project allows campers to immerse themselves in excellent traditional Chinese culture—including folk songs, folk music, ceramics, painting and calligraphy, tea art, and traditional opera. It provides an opportunity to understand the charming history and culture of Jiangxi, witness the rapid development of the Ganpo region, promote friendly exchanges between the youth of both countries, and build a bridge of friendship between Chinese and Russian youth.
