In Yan'an, a city in Shaanxi province, eight international students from XJTU gained a thorough understanding of the revolutionary spirit of the members of the Communist Party of China during the revolutionary period.

Also in early July, international students from 10 countries conducted a field visit to Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei province, and were impressed by the vitality and resilience of the city's economy in the post-epidemic era.

Meanwhile, a supporting education and research activity was organized to bring unique classes to local students and increase international students' understanding of education in China.
