On the afternoon of June 27, a research delegation led by Mr. Huang Shan, Secretary of the Shantou Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League and Chairman of the Shantou Youth Federation, visited the Dalian World Music Culture Museum. The delegation conducted a research tour focused on music culture development, youth cultural work, and integrated cultural-tourism development. Ms. Tian Fang, Director of the Youth Development Department of the Dalian Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, accompanied the delegation, and the museum’s senior management team provided full hospitality throughout the visit.

The delegation toured the museum’s core thematic exhibition areas, enjoying an up‑close view of the museum’s treasured collection of Chinese and Western musical art and cultural heritage. They received a detailed introduction to the museum’s achievements in cultural public services, cultural industries, cultural technology, cultural diplomacy, and the “Museum+” model. During the visit, the delegation highly praised the museum’s efforts in preserving musical cultural heritage through private-sector dedication and its role as a distinctive platform for cultural dissemination.

During the exchange session, the museum team shared with the delegation the entrepreneurial journey and sense of mission of Founder and Director Zhang Jingxuan, who has remained committed to the original aspiration of “serving the nation through culture,” dedicating years to the rescue and preservation of musical artifacts and the promotion of music culture. Members of the delegation expressed that they were deeply moved by Director Zhang’s steadfast cultural ideals and his actions to empower social development through culture, and they fully recognized the museum’s operational model of being rooted in Dalian while sharing the value of music culture with the world.

The two sides then engaged in in‑depth discussions on cross‑regional cultural exchanges, joint youth cultural initiatives, and collaborative cultural‑tourism resource development. Secretary Huang Shan stated that the World Music Culture Museum has accumulated valuable experience in cultural inheritance and innovation, and expressed the hope that this visit would serve as a starting point for building a cultural bridge between the two cities. He looked forward to exploring in‑depth cooperation in areas such as youth cultural exchange activities, themed music cultural exhibitions and performances, and collaborative cultural and creative industries in the future, promoting complementary cultural resources and the sharing of achievements between the two regions.

The World Music Culture Museum expressed its willingness to take this exchange as a starting point to actively connect with Shantou’s cultural and youth work resources, fully leverage its collection advantages and role as a public cultural platform, and provide support for cultural interaction and youth exchanges between the two cities, jointly contributing to the inheritance of music culture and the high‑quality development of the cultural‑tourism industry.
