The 2026 Global Mayors Dialogue just took place in Huangshan, Anhui Province. Mayors from nine countries explored Huangshan Mountain and wandered through Hongcun Village, experiencing a special cross-cultural exchange right among the mountains and ancient buildings.

CGTN's Yang Xinmeng tagged along, capturing every moment as the mayors tried the mountain-climbing exoskeleton, checked out the 1,000-year-old Welcoming Pine, and experienced traditional Huizhou culture in Hongcun. Along the way, the mayors got a firsthand look at China's natural beauty and rich culture. Everyone agreed that Huangshan strikes the perfect balance between protecting nature and growing tourism, making it a great example for cities around the world with rich cultural heritage.
