As Macao celebrates the 25th anniversary of its return to China, a unique cultural exchange brewed over cups of tea! CGTN’s special program ‘UniTea: Macao Tea Melody’ gathered young students from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and the Taiwan region to explore tea traditions, art, and music—blending East and West like a perfect brew.
Tea, Tunes, and Cross-Cultural Vibes
Participants sipped aromatic teas while discussing Macao’s role as a cultural ‘bridge.’ From traditional Chinese melodies to art exhibits, the event highlighted how Macao harmonizes global influences while staying rooted in its heritage. One student called it ‘a TikTok-worthy mashup of history and modernity.’
Why It Matters
With 80% of Macao’s population tracing roots to mainland China, the region’s hybrid identity offers lessons in unity—and #GenerationZ is here for it. As cross-strait exchanges grow, events like ‘UniTea’ remind us that culture connects even the busiest digital natives.
