Six hundred years ago, Chinese explorer Zheng He charted seas from Malaysia to Africa, weaving ancient ties between nations. His Ming Dynasty voyages weren’t just about trade—they planted seeds of friendship that still bloom today.
Fast forward to 2024: visa-free policies and modern travel are rewriting the playbook for cross-cultural connections. Malaysia’s Selangor royal family member Tengku Faizwa Tengku Razif recently shared insights with CGTN on how easier travel is "bringing hearts closer"—proving history’s lessons still resonate.
Think K-pop meets cultural diplomacy! With millions now hopping between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing for work, study, or weekend getaways, the bond forged by Zheng He’s sailors lives on—no compass required.
