What’s in Store

Cross-generation future building, the China way.

The world is evolving at lightning speed — socially, economically, technologically. This program is designed to help parents and young adults (19–26) experience the future together in one of the most dynamic countries in the world.

Spend quality time, gain new perspectives, and leave with a deeper understanding of how China works, lives, and innovates. From Beijing to Hangzhou to Shanghai, we’ll explore how China is shaping global innovation.

A taste of the program:

  • Discover Xiaomi, from everyday tech to supercars built for speed
  • Dive into China’s culture and lifestyle through gaming, fashion, beauty, live streaming, and Pop Mart
