US youth delegation visits Qianlingshan Park

A delegation of over 80 students and teachers from various schools in the United States visited Southwest China's Guizhou province on Sept 15-18.

On the afternoon of Sept 18, some members of the delegation explored Qianlingshan Park in Yunyan district, Guiyang, capital of the province, where the pristine natural environment and the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature left a profound impression on them.

Guided by interpreters, the students and teachers toured the Qianlingshan Park, learning about various animals. Rare animals such as giant pandas, South China tigers, leopards, and African lions captivated the delegation members, while unique landscapes and local customs prompted them to pause and appreciate their surroundings.

Inside the giant panda hall, two round and fluffy pandas, Haibin and Xingbao, lazily lounged on the grass, basking in the afternoon sun, occasionally stretching or rubbing their eyes with their paws.

Many students were amazed, taking out their phones to capture the moment. "This is the first time I've ever seen a panda. The weather in this city is very cool, perfect for traveling with friends and family. We've learned about the local customs and had many wonderful experiences," said a student.

After exploring Qianlingshan Park, the delegation sampled local Guiyang delicacies.
