On May 30, 2019, international students from Ghana, Congo, Nigeria and Zimbabwe attending Jiangsu University of Science and Technology visited the Runzhou Shanlu Community at the Jinshan Street in Zhenjiang. Joining the locals in celebration of the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, an important traditional Chinese festival, they learned how to make zongzi (glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in reed leaves), weave colorful mesh egg bags and paint eggs.
