Through cultural exchange and heartfelt conversations, youth from China and Latin America discover common ground and lasting friendships.
For many delegates, a highlight of the visit was the trip to the world-renowned Terracotta Warriors — a UNESCO World Heritage site and an iconic symbol of China's ancient civilization and archaeological excellence.
Buried for over two thousand years, the life-size army was created to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Each figure is unique, with distinct facial features and postures.
"The site attracts massive crowds — it's unlike anywhere else in the world," said Luan De Gusmao Medeiros Scliar, a delegate from Brazil. "Only China can present history on such a grand scale, with such deep reverence."
"The visit isn't just about economics — it's also about identity, about showing who we are and where we come from," he added. "China is doing that very well. I wish Brazil could achieve the same."
