2024 marks a new chapter for Jiangxi as it embraces the world. With the deepening implementation of the policy of visa-free transit and the full launch of the "Global Students Explore Jiangxi - Journey Through Poetic and Picturesque Jiangxi" event, this land, praised by Su Shi as more beautiful than any painted landscape, is becoming a new destination for international youth to explore Chinese culture. From wearing Hanfu, reciting poems while traveling, to watching folk performances and experiencing ceramic arts... many foreign tourists travel long distances to Jiangxi to delve into its unique charm.

Savor the poetic rhyme of Jiangxi in landscape classrooms. Across Nanchang, Jiujiang, Jingdezhen, Xinyu, and various scenic spots throughout the province, the resonant sound of reading echoes from students around the globe. "Rosy evening clouds flying with lonely bird, while autumn waters sharing the same color with the sky." "Waterfalls cascade three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were pouring down from the ninth heaven", the international students, with their not-so-fluent yet sincere Chinese, strive to recite classic poems, allowing these ancient verses to resonate amidst the green mountains and clear waters, creating a breathtaking atmosphere.

Take "poetic travel" as an opportunity and "culture" as the pursuit. At Mount Lu in Jiujiang, the international students dressed in traditional Chinese attire, imitate the manners of ancient Chinese scholars, greet each other with cupped hands, savor tea, and exchange poetic verse. At the China Ceramic Museum and the “Sanbao Jingpiao: A Home for  Drifting Artisans in Jingdezhen”, they experience ceramic DIY. At the Xinyu Grass Cloth Embroidery Museum, under the personal guidance of Zhang Xiaohong, a national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor of grass cloth embroidery, they learn practical embroidery techniques such as arranging needles and threads and securing stitches... Various programs satisfy international students' enthusiasm for exploring traditional Chinese culture.

Receiving continuous praise, the poetic and picturesque Jiangxi is captivating. The "Global Students Explore Jiangxi - Journey Through Poetic and Picturesque Jiangxi" event allows international students to go beyond ordinary sightseeing and photo-taking, enabling them to appreciate the artistic conception depicted in ancient poems through the scenery before their eyes, thereby deepening their understanding and love for traditional Chinese culture. Hamza, an international student from Pakistan,  said, "Reciting poems is not only to save on the entrance fee, but also to learn more about the landscape and the stories of the place."

In 2024, Jiangxi left an unforgettable memory for foreign students with its picturesque scenery and profound cultural heritage. In the future, Jiangxi will continue to welcome friends from all over the world with an open and inclusive attitude. Let us look forward together to writing another exciting chapter belonging to us on this poetic land.
