Ever wondered who's keeping the gears turning at Chengdu's World Games? Meet the passionate volunteers who turn an international spectacle into a warm, welcoming experience. 😊
From guiding athletes at the Jinniu Sports Centre to helping visitors navigate teahouse-lined alleys, these young champs bring sincerity & patience at every step. Whether it's greeting you with 'Ni hao', guiding you with a friendly 'Namaste', or helping you say 'Sawadee kha' during a match, their hospitality knows no borders. 🌏🤝
Take Li Mei, a local uni student majoring in tourism. She spends her days coordinating schedules, mastering translation apps, and making sure no one misses a match. "I love seeing everyone's faces light up when they get the right directions," she tells CGTN's Wang Tao.
