On April 21, a cross-border group of global digital influencers embarked on a cultural exploration of the Dahongling Ancient Trail, nestled in Qimen County of Huangshan, East China’s Anhui Province. Among the visiting delegates was Oluwabunmi Jimoh, a content creator and influencer originating from Nigeria.
During their immersive walk along the centuries-old path, Jimoh had the opportunity to connect with local resident Zheng Jimin, who has deep ancestral ties to the region. Zheng walked the group through the layered history of the trail, unpacking its long-standing role as a critical trade route and the cultural significance it holds for generations of local communities. The ancient pathway carries rich legacies of traditional Chinese merchant activity that shaped the economic and social fabric of the Huangshan region for hundreds of years.
China Daily has published accompanying multimedia content alongside this report, including a full video that captures Jimoh’s experience and the key historical insights she gained during her visit. The excursion forms part of broader efforts to showcase lesser-known cultural heritage sites in China to international audiences, building cross-cultural understanding and highlighting the country’s diverse historical landscapes to global viewers.
