Shandong Province, a region steeped in history and cultural richness, is set to host two significant events that highlight its timeless allure and contemporary relevance.
Unveiling the Tranquility of Baotu Spring
Located in Jinan, Baotu Spring stands as one of China’s most celebrated springs, with a legacy that spans over 2,000 years. The spring is renowned not only for its crystal-clear waters but also for the surrounding park that mirrors the elegance of a classic Chinese scroll painting. Visitors to Baotu Spring can immerse themselves in its serene beauty, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and inspiration. CGTN recently featured a visit to Baotu Spring, showcasing its tranquil environment and the harmonious blend of nature and history.
The 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations
From July 10 to 11, Qufu City in Shandong Province will play host to the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations. Qufu, the birthplace of the revered philosopher Confucius, provides a fitting backdrop for this prestigious event. The Nishan Forum annually brings together foreign dignitaries, representatives from international organizations, ambassadors to China, and global experts and scholars. The gathering aims to foster dialogue on integrating diverse cultural perspectives and addressing shared global challenges, emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural understanding and cooperation.
These events underscore Shandong’s pivotal role in both preserving cultural heritage and facilitating meaningful global discourse. Whether exploring the natural beauty of Baotu Spring or engaging in intellectual exchanges at the Nishan Forum, Shandong offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity that appeals to young global citizens, business and tech enthusiasts, thought leaders, and travelers alike.
