On July 3-23, 22 young delegates participating in the 2026 Across the Pacific: China-U.S. Youth Dialogue for a Shared Future traveled from Washington, D.C., and Missoula, Montana in the United States, to Kunming and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in China's Yunnan Province, as well as the country's capital, Beijing.
Through field visits and in-depth exchanges, the participants gained firsthand insights into rural development practices, ecological conservation efforts, technological advances and the diverse cultures of both countries.
