A special cultural exchange event for women writers was held in Changchun on March 5, ahead of the 116th International Women's Day. The activity was jointly organized by the Jilin Provincial Women's Federation and the Jilin Provincial Writers Association.

Invited women writers and female university representatives from campus writers associations took part in an immersive visit highlighting women's creativity and cultural heritage.

The first stop brought participants to the "Changchun Gift" concept store, where they explored a variety of handmade cultural and creative products made by women artisans.

The group then visited the Changchun women and children's activity center to learn about the "Chunqiaoqiao" women's handicraft heritage program, which supports the preservation and practice of traditional crafts.
