Especially in the urban dialogue session, leaders from Baoding City, Jinshan District of Shanghai City, Hangzhou City, Wenzhou City, Chengdu City, Shapingba District of Chongqing City, Baoji City and other cities discussed, exchanged and shared on youth education, youth culture, youth innovation, urban planning, urban renewal, urban environment and many other aspects.

They strongly agree with the local government's initiative to build a youth-friendly city, and record wonderful moments with mobile phone from time to time.

"Cities are more youth-friendly and young people are more successful in cities." Through this activity, international students have a further understanding of the concept of youth development city and a deeper understanding of the Chinese-style modernization development path.
