Global students explore Suzhou's cultural depth

A group of international students explores Suzhou's rich heritage, gaining deeper insights into its history, traditions, and the value of cross-cultural connections.

Suzhou's ancient gardens and canals have long drawn visitors, but for 10 young people from around the world, the city offered more than just postcard views — it was a place to experience, not just to see.

On March 3, international students from countries including Canada, Russia, Nigeria, Thailand, and Malaysia explored this historic destination in East China's Jiangsu province.

For Jiratchaya Phinyoworakul, a 23-year-old Thai student at Fudan University in Shanghai, this was her second visit to Suzhou. She noted that among her friends in Shanghai, Suzhou consistently stands out as the top weekend getaway for an authentic Chinese cultural experience.
