Under the golden autumn skies of Luoyang, a delegation of media professionals from Latin America and the Caribbean gathered at the Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital in Henan Province in the Chinese mainland. Their mission: to trace the origins of one of the world’s most enduring civilizations and uncover stories that resonate across continents.
The visit, part of the "Journey to Chinese Civilization: Henan" cultural tour led by CGTN this week, offered an immersive look at relics, ancient craftsmanship and expert insights that reveal how early societies laid the foundations for modern culture, governance and innovation.
While exploring exhibits, delegates drew parallels between their own histories and China’s ancient heritage, highlighting universal themes of resilience, creativity and cultural exchange. Through guided tours and discussions with museum curators, they gained fresh perspectives on how the past continues to shape today’s global landscape.
By bridging millennia and crossing oceans, this cultural exchange underscores the power of storytelling in fostering mutual understanding. For these young journalists and digital storytellers, bringing the Erlitou narrative to international audiences means sparking curiosity and building new connections between Latin America, the Caribbean and the Chinese mainland.
