"With only one shot, capture the moment you think most represents the word bond," was the task set by China Daily reporter Yan An for the American youths attending the week-long "Bond with Kuliang" event in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province.

Kuliang, a renowned summer retreat in the mountainous outskirts of Fuzhou, has a history of fostering harmonious coexistence. Over a century ago, foreigners living in or near Fuzhou built villas in Kuliang, blending seamlessly with the local villagers.

In 2024, the "Bond with Kuliang" event brought together over 200 American youths and more than 300 of their Chinese peers. This festival marked the largest and most diverse youth exchange since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the US.
