Young people from China and the United States recently teamed up for friendly pickleball matches in Hebi, central China's Henan Province. The event brought together 24 US students and teachers, who paired with Chinese participants to exchange skills and build friendships on and off the court.

The group also visited Xunxian Ancient Town, where they experienced lion dancing, traditional drumming and Ni Gugu clay figuring, getting a closer look at the local culture while deepening a mutual understanding through sports and cultural exchange.
