Timothy Burns, a Baylor University professor, swapped Texas textbooks for a trip to China’s Henan Province—and what he found left him buzzing!

'It’s like walking through humanity’s greatest hits album,' Burns said, referencing how ancient innovations like papermaking and the compass originated here.

His biggest takeaway? 'Happiness here isn’t a hashtag—it’s real life.'
