Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, turned cultural ambassador this week as she welcomed spouses of leaders attending the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit to Tianjin. The group embarked on a picturesque journey along the Haihe River, blending history, music, and modern vibes into one unforgettable afternoon. 🎶
Greeted by waving children and folk melodies, the delegation snapped group photos before boarding a river cruise. Peng highlighted Tianjin’s unique identity as a city where 'ancient waterways meet skyscrapers,' while guests sipped tea and admired landmarks like the iconic Tianjin Eye. 🏙️
The tour’s highlight? A soulful sanxian (three-stringed lute) performance that had visitors tapping their feet. Many praised China’s 'harmony of tradition and innovation,' with one guest calling the experience 'a living postcard of Chinese culture.' 📸
As the boat glided past futuristic bridges, Peng emphasized that such exchanges 'weave stronger threads of friendship' among nations. The day wrapped with selfies on deck and glowing reviews of China’s modernization achievements. 🌟
