Nine member universities including Zhejiang University, China Academy of Art, and Ningbo University participated, attracting nearly a hundred foreign students from 30 countries to gather at the scene

The students visited the Digital Trade Centers in Zone 1 and Zone 6 of Yiwu International Trade City in succession, where the rich and diverse small commodities were dazzling. As the main stage of the Yiwu branch venue for this year's Spring Festival Gala, the Zone 6 Digital Trade Center integrated drones and intelligent robots into trade exhibitions, warehousing logistics, and supply and demand matching, showcasing the core strength of China's digital trade and cross-border e-commerce.

The students entered the Chouzhou Commercial Bank Entrepreneurship Practice Base, which is the first World Youth Entrepreneurship Practice Base of the Zhejiang Provincial University Foreign Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Alliance in Yiwu City.

Stop 3: Government-Bank-Enterprise Seminar – Solid & Practical

During the exchange session, from internship and employment, entrepreneurial processes, venue rentals, to tax regulations, online sales, and cross-border logistics, the students actively asked questions, and the guests answered them one by one, creating a lively atmosphere on the scene.

Going forward, International College will continue to organize “Experience China”

Let’s understand China through walking, and embrace the future through action!
