The guests continued their in-depth visits to enterprises and cultural landmarks, touring the Huichuan Technology headquarters, Shenzhen Lianard Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., and the Guanlan Ancient Market, to learn about Longhua’s achievements in smart manufacturing, digital and intelligent development, new materials applications, and the preservation and revitalization of traditional culture. They experienced firsthand how advanced manufacturing and traditional culture mutually empower each other’s development and gained a deeper appreciation for the city’s unique character, which blends technological innovation with Eastern aesthetics.

At the Guanlan Historic Village, everyone strolled through century-old streets and alleys, visiting historic sites such as Fabric Street and the watchtowers. In front of the sculpture of the “Yizhang Money Exchange,” the guests curiously posed for photos with an abacus. When the tour guide explained that the watchtowers blend Western elements—such as ancient Greek colonnades, Roman arches, and Gothic ornamentation—with traditional Hakka wall paintings and relief carvings of auspicious beasts to create a style that fuses Chinese and Western influences, the guests were filled with admiration, remarking, “A century ago, Longhua was already at the forefront of East-West cultural integration.”
