Harvard China Trek 2024 in Ningbo

Strolling through the ancient residences of the Ming and Qing dynasties, appreciating the poetic and picturesque beauty of the watery towns in the lower reach of the Yangtze River Delta area, visiting high-tech enterprises and experiencing the power of “smart manufacturing in China”. These are just some of the activities over the past two days of the “China Trek 2024” by a Harvard group of young students from 16 countries and regions, when a collision and integration of economy and culture began.

“I am very excited and happy to lead my Harvard classmates to Ningbo,” said Liu Weiwei, co-chairman of the China Society of the Kennedy College of Harvard University and one of the organizers of this year’s “Harvard China Trek”. “While studying at Harvard, I found that some foreign students and media have a one-sided view of China. I hope this event can help them better understand China and it can become a bridge between China and the outside world.”
