STORYLINE:

The International Youth Dialogue on Inheritance and Innovation of Civilization Diversity was held in Honghe Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province on Saturday.

More than 100 young people from China and abroad attended the event.

Yunnan, with its diverse ethnic culture, has many intangible cultural heritages, including the cultural landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, which was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in June 2013.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): MARCELO MAM LIU, Peruvian student
"I think the diversity of civilizations is the wealth of mankind. As a youth in Peru, I hope to protect the culture and customs of my country and to spread it to more people, and hope that more people can come to Peru to see our terraced fields."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): KSENIA, Russian student
"We all come here together, get to know each other, share our culture, and share our experience with others. This is also a kind of cultural diversity."
