A group of 33 expats from 12 countries recently participated in a workshop on bamboo industry and green economy development in developing countries in Chongtou town, Yunhe county, which is administered by Lishui city in East China's Zhejiang province.

The expats visited the Yunhe Terrace scenic area, which has the largest terrace cluster in East China, and the local wooden toy industry exhibition hall. They also joined a local summer party where they did fishing and swam in the water.
