The abundant artifacts and detailed historical materials at the Majiabang Culture Museum gave the young participants a vivid glimpse into the profound heritage of Jiaxing's rice cultivation culture. In the dumpling production workshop of Wufangzhai Industrial Park, they marveled at how the company transforms grains of rice into such a diverse range of products. At Haiyan Shendang Brewery, they savored the unique charm of rice revitalized in another realm. The Serbian youths said that such experiences deepened their understanding of the significance of rice in the lives of the Chinese people.
