The session included an introduction to the exploration schedule and preparation guidelines, a Q&A session, a special lecture, and group programs.
The city introduced the exploration itinerary, which will take place in Taiwan from July 22 to 25, 2025. The youth will participate in a variety of experiences across the fields of history, culture, and science, focusing on the regions of Kaohsiung, Hsinchu, and Taipei.
