A delegation of youth representatives from sister cities in Japan recently visited the Changqinghu campus of Shandong Normal University in Jinan to carry out youth exchange activities.

The delegation included 60 students and teachers from 21 high schools and universities in Japanese cities and regions including Wakayama prefecture, Shimonoseki, and Kisarazu.

During the event, Chinese and Japanese students and teachers interacted and exchanged ideas and viewed a karate demonstration. They also visited a location known as the Jinan China-Japan Exchange Window.
