On his second trip to the Chinese mainland, John Facelo, president of the Baltimore Sister Cities Association, stepped into the Silk Museum in Hangzhou and felt like he had traveled back in time 🌌.
"Seeing these ancient looms made me think about the threads that connect our cultures," he told reporter Liu Mohan 🤝.
Earlier in Xiamen, he joined youth exchange programs that brought together young people from Baltimore and the Chinese mainland. Those conversations about entrepreneurship, culture, and daily life left a lasting impression 🌱.
For Facelo, these moments weave modern bonds into an ancient tapestry. From silk threads to shared ideas, his journey shows how cultural heritage can bridge oceans 🌏✈️.
