尝一口饱含丰收喜悦的庆丰包子、品一品新鲜稻米酿造而成的米酒、万亩稻田中静享一场音乐会......10月17 18日，“Go Jiangsu”海外社交媒体外籍粉丝线下行活动走进常州溧阳，来自美国、英国、乌克兰等数个国家的外籍粉丝，走进稻田，漫步一号公路，感受江苏的风土人情和文化魅力。
外国粉丝参观庆丰村
Qingfeng Village,whose name implies harvest celebration in Chinese, used to be an underdeveloped village. Now it has changed into a popular scenic spot combining tourism and agriculture. At there, participants tried some local food, like Qingfeng Baozi and rice wine.
Phillip品尝当地的米酒
Phillip Dale Everhart from the US said that “it’s very delicious. I would eat and eat and eat.”
粉丝团来到的第一站，是有着“苏南第一方，庆丰稻花香”之美誉的庆丰村。庆丰村曾经是一个经济薄弱村，依靠农旅融合，现在的庆丰村，不止有翻滚的金色稻浪，青蛙雕塑、旧时茅店、田间石桥等都成了网红打卡点。外籍粉丝在这里品尝了鲜甜的庆丰包子，也感受了米酒的微醺，来自美国的Phillip更是在这里吃的不亦乐乎。
拍照记录庆丰村“文旅融合”一角 “
In the UK, we have a massive problem where people in the rural area like to travel to the cities to find jobs, find economy,” Jamie Heath from the UK said, “But this trip is really demonstrated like China plans to try and bring people to the rural areas. And by boosting the economy of the rural areas in China, the people in the rural areas can stay in the rural areas.”
来自英国的Jamie对于庆丰村的发展更是有颇多感触，“在英国有个很大的问题是，居住在农村的人都想逃离农村到大城市工作生活。但是这次旅行给我留下了非常深刻的印象，中国努力发展农村特色经济，让更多的人可以留在农村，不需要到大城市就能工作舒适。”
