Diaspora Youth Ambassador to China Presents Armenian Culture at “East Meets West” Carnival

On November 2nd, Mane Vardanyan, the Diaspora Youth Ambassador to China, led and organized the Armenian Stand at the “Wisdom Across Ages, Encounters of East and West” Carnival, hosted by the Committee of the Communist Youth League of Nanjing University. Participants wore traditional Armenian attire (taraz), kindly provided by the 2024-2025 Diaspora Youth Ambassador to China, Ani Margaryan.
The stand was decorated with Armenian flags and a traditional tablecloth. It featured a display of Armenian wines, cognacs, Armenian paper, and pomegranates—a fruit strongly associated with Armenia. Two traditional Armenian games were also set up for visitors to enjoy: Stone Game (Qarktik) and Conkers (Enkuyzakhagh).
The stand attracted significant attention and remained highly popular throughout the three-hour event. It drew a continuous flow of visitors, including not only Chinese attendees but also individuals from various countries such as Russia, the United States, and Pakistan.
