The gathering witnessed the premiere of the Wuxi Symphony Orchestra's 2023 series of chamber music concerts, a showcase of works by young and middle-aged Chinese painters from the Yangtze River Delta region as well as an array of vibrant intangible cultural heritage activities.

International friends immersed themselves in a variety of hands-on activities, including the craft of Erhu (a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument) making, stone rubbing, rattan weaving, and Chinese flower arrangement, gaining a deep appreciation for Chinese culture.
