One of this year's highlights was a mini world expo held on July 17 at the Minhang Zizhu Campus of No 2 High School of East China Normal University. Campers showcased the cultures, landscapes, food, and traditions of their home countries, China Daily reported.

This year’s campers experienced TCM therapy, visited Shanghai landmarks, tech firms and the Yangtze River Delta, and stayed with local families.

Participants praised the program for helping them explore cultural differences while finding common ground.

Since 2005, the camp has welcomed 1,918 participants from 70 countries.
