Chengdu, China — On Friday, the 2025 Chengdu World Games Village became more than just a stage for top-tier sports. It unveiled the brand-new Chinese Bridge, an interactive zone co-organized by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education and Chengdu University. Young athletes from around the world got a taste of the Chinese language and culture, sparking curiosity beyond competition.
Think of it as a cultural playground: participants can pick their own Chinese name, practice key phrases, try calligraphy, whip up classic dishes, paint pandas, and snap fun shots at a themed photo studio. Each station is designed to turn language learning into a memorable adventure 🌟.
During the Games, organizers hope the Chinese Bridge will become a bridge in every sense—fostering the globalization of Chinese language education and the rejuvenation of Chinese culture. Through this immersive experience, international friends gain a real, multidimensional glimpse of the country beyond headlines.
Whether you're a sports pro, a culture fanatic, or just curious, Chinese Bridge offers a fun detour that proves language and culture go hand in hand. Who knew learning Mandarin could be so epic? 🎉
