Historically, the ancient Silk Road served as a vital link between China and Central Asian countries, fostering deep cultural interaction and exchange. At the Confucius Institute of L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University in Kazakhstan, local youth are donning traditional Chinese Hanfu, immersing themselves in the elegance of a civilization that once thrived along the Silk Road. This revival not only celebrates the rich heritage of the past but also highlights the ongoing cultural exchange inspired by the Belt and Road Initiative. Photos: Zhao Juecheng/GT
