The International Student Affairs Center of Fudan University organized a cultural experience event, bringing together students from over 10 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Russia, to the Shanghai History Museum for an immersive exploration of Shanghai-style architecture and traditional Chinese medicine.

Guided by museum volunteers, the students embarked on a journey through the city's architectural heritage, learning about facade ornamentation and spatial design, gaining fresh insight into Shanghai's architectural evolution.

During the TCM experience session, the students visited a creative Chinese herbal medicine collage workshop. Using ingredients such as astragalus and goji berries, they created works that blended personal expression and natural aesthetics.

Many participants shared that the event deepened their understanding of Shanghai's urban charm and the wisdom behind TCM. Muslima Bekova Ildar Qizi, a student from Uzbekistan, said she particularly enjoyed the hands-on artistic creation.
