A city reveals its culture step by step, through its streets, neighborhoods and markets. Young representatives from BRICS countries explored the Yantai Hill Historic and Cultural District in Fuzhou, southeast China's Fujian Province, where Chinese and Western architectural styles meet. Having a firsthand experience of another culture matters, they said: it helps to open minds, challenge perceptions and build connections across borders.

The group is in Fuzhou for a six-day exchange program — the 2026 BRICS Youth Leaders Campus on Science, Technology and Innovation. Running from November 8 to 13 across Fuzhou and Xiamen, it aims to strengthen exchanges and explore cooperation opportunities among member countries.
