During the event, 11 young journalists from 10 BRI partner countries will tell Guizhou's stories, spread Guizhou's voice, and present Guizhou's image and the province's successful practices in advancing Chinese modernization to the world.

They will visit an exhibition hall on ecological progress in Guanshanhu district of Guiyang, watch the finals of the Village Basketball Competition of China, known as "CunBA," in Taipan village, Taijiang county of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, and go to the grand Baling River Bridge, also a renowned extreme sports resort, in Anshun city and Zhijin Cave, a popular destination in Bijie city.
