Participating in the study tour with Chinese internet influencers were young people from Kenya, Myanmar, Nigeria, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Together they visited the Kong Family Mansion, the Temple of Confucius, Confucius Museum, the Yan Family Mansion, the Temple of Yan Hui, and Nishan Sacred Land, and learned about traditional Chinese culture in an immersive way.
Shamsiddin Tolliboev from Uzbekistan was attracted by the tall ancient trees. "They have stood the test of time. Just imagine the stories they could tell us,” he said. Lydia Nduta Njoroge from Kenya remarked that "the sleeves of Hanfu are so beautiful when being waved. They remind me of a line from a contemporary poem, which reads: 'Gently I flick my sleeves, not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.'"
