Move over, Netflix—Xi’an just hosted a cultural mashup that’s redefining how global youth connect with Chinese traditions! 🎬 Over 30 international students, including a lively French exchange group, gathered in the ancient capital for China Travel With Chinese Films @Xi’an, an event blending movie magic and hands-on cultural immersion.
Organized by CGTN, Shaanxi Bureau of China Media Group, and Xiying Group, the day featured screenings of films spotlighting Xi’an’s history paired with interactive workshops. Think calligraphy sessions where Mandarin met TikTok-worthy art, and dumpling-making classes that turned into laughter-filled diplomacy. 🥟✍️
One French participant shared: \"Seeing Xi’an’s terracotta warriors on screen, then holding replica artifacts—it’s like time travel meets group chat energy!\" The event highlights how film isn’t just entertainment but a passport to cross-cultural friendships. 🌍💬
As global interest in Chinese heritage grows among Gen Z, initiatives like this prove that shared stories—whether on-screen or over steam baskets—are the real blockbusters. 🚀✨
