The "Belt and Road Youth Friendship Exchange Program – Eurasian Media Trip to Luoyang," a six-day event organized by People's Daily Online, made a stop April 24 at the Yingzui Mountain campsite in Xin’an county, Luoyang, central China's Henan province.

Journalists from nine Eurasian countries participating in the program enjoyed traditional Chinese tea-making and listened to guzheng music, experiencing a cross-cultural exchange.

The Yingzui Mountain campsite is an example of how Xin’an has transformed its cultural and tourism sector. Once a wasteland, it has become a popular destination along the Yellow River. Activities such as drive-in movies, forest cabins, camping barbecues, fishing and hot air ballooning offer visitors a range of experiences.
