Lancang-Mekong Bashu Cultural Exchange Youth Camp
This program was held by Sichuan Youth Federation on the theme of “Bashu Culture, Innovation and Entrepreneurship.” The program aims for the regional social and economic development to help youth of the regional countries engage vigorously in the Belt and Road construction and the regional economic development. There were 49 delegates from the five Mekong countries (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam) and most of them were entrepreneurs and University students. This camp has lasted a week. (23.6.2019 – 29.6.2019)
On 24th June of our first visit, we went to the Mianzhu New Year Pictures Village where there were traditional handmade crafts and paintings. The walls and doors of the houses in that village were covered by the beautiful paintings. After our lunch, we were at the Erzhong Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd which is a major national advanced equipment manufacturing base. As it was a dangerous working area, the rules were strict that no photo was allowed to take in the factory and all people had to wear helmets for safety. Our next stop, the Dongfang Turbine Co., Ltd, was a large state-owned enterprise of high-tech backbone. It specialized in development and manufacture of power equipment for various kinds of power stations and new energy resources.
At the Erzhong (Deyang) Heavy Equipment On our second day, the Dujiangyan Panda Park also known as Panda Park was visited and we have met the lovely pandas. The park was full of bamboo forests, birds and flowers, fresh air and winding walkways. Then, we went to the Chengdu International Railway Port which was the first step of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). And we have got a brief explanation about the trade between China and Europe through railway at the Chengdu-Europe International Youth Home.
At the Dujiangyan Panda Park
On the third day, we have learned about the precautions of the natural disasters at the Chengdu Youth Center. And it was a great chance to be in the part of such program. After having lunch, we went shopping to the Global Center which is one of the greatest shopping centers in China. Then, we continued our visit to the Sensetime Co., Ltd which is the innovative Al technology company. They distributed the textbooks of programming to the high school students and trying to be a compulsory subject with the aim of technology development among young people. On the fourth day, we have to wear semi-formal dresses as there was Lancang-Mekong Youth Exchange Forum at the Business & Innovation Center for China-Europe Cooperation. We then visited to the History Museum of Sichuan University after having the Lecture of “Lancang-Mekong Area Economic Development and Southward Opening up” by Professor Dai who is the rector of Sichuan University. During this lecture, we had a chance to discuss with the Professor about the challenges and future prospects of the BRI project.
On the fifth day, we first visited the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) where we got much experience about the Chinese Traditional Culture. And then, we went to the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE) and we had lunch there. After that, we have learned the financial technology at the Fintech Innovative Center which was aiming to transform the traditional financial methods as the innovative ones. Moreover, we had a forum of “Fintech and China’s Practice” at the Museum of SWUFE. Finally, we had the cultural performances of five Lancang-Mekong countries at the restaurant which has been an unforgettable memory ever.
During this exchange, we have visited a lot of famous and important places in Chengdu including three famous universities: Sichuan University; Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Southwestern University of Finance and Economic. Each university gave us a lot of precious knowledge about Chinese business, finances and cultures. As the theme of this project based on “Belt and Road Initiatives” Project, we could explore much about the BRI and have learned how Myanmar is important in this project. Besides, we have a chance to discuss with the Chinese Professor and youths from Mekong countries about the potential future of Southeast Asia countries in the BRI project. Thus, in this exchange youth camp, we have learned not only about BRI project and Chinese culture, but also about Chinese developed technologies, entrepreneur innovations and artificial intelligences programs. We have also got international experiences and can extend our international youth networks. The memories, knowledge and experiences we got from this exchange is priceless and will stay with us forever.
