A delegation comprising teachers and students from Jiangnan University in Wuxi and representatives from local enterprises recently embarked on a 10-day journey in Mangkuan, a township in Baoshan, Yunnan province.
The School of Foreign Studies of Jiangnan University, in collaboration with enterprises from Wuxi, donated a copy machine and three color printers to Mangkuan Minzu Middle School and established a special scholarship fund, benefiting over 1,200 teachers and students. These acts will not only significantly improve the school's teaching facilities, but also create a better learning environment for students.

In their spare time, the visitors from Wuxi also engaged with local coffee, mango, and jackfruit growers and contractors so as to explore innovative approaches to expanding sales channels for local products. These approaches encompass the establishment of industry incubation bases, vocational skills training, and the integration of foreign languages with e-commerce.
They also talked with local tourism enterprises about how to attract more international tourists and promote the development of local tourism through improved services, diverse tourism products, and vigorous market promotion.
