What began as a small-scale e-sports competition in 2017 has evolved over the past decade into something much larger. Now, the Haishanghui camp has grown into a flagship platform for cross-strait youth exchanges, bringing together sports, technology, culture, and more.

And the experience extends beyond Shanghai. Participants will also visit nearby cities such as Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, taking part in additional exchange activities along the way, building new connections and broadening horizons with each stop.
