Retracing Marco Polo’s Journey… With a Twist 🐎

Brazilian Professor Drops Shanghai Wisdom 🇧🇷❤️🇨🇳
‘Bem-vindo a China!’ A Brazilian lecturer spills tea ☕ on Shanghai life: ‘People here collect museum tickets like K-pop merch!’ Her TikTok-ready takes prove cultural exchange is a two-way street.
Shadow Puppetry’s Comeback Tour 🎭
Shaanxi’s ‘cinema ancestors’ are slaying the innovation game. Imagine 2,000-year-old puppetry meets LED lights – it’s like Taylor Swift rewriting Shakespeare. These artists won’t let tradition fade to black.
