The 2025 International Youth Poetry Festival—Special Session for China-Latin American nations brought together 40 poets from 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries to explore Xi'an and Shangluo in Shaanxi province, alongside 37 Chinese poets, from Sunday to Thursday.
Upon arriving in Xi'an on Sunday evening, the poets were welcomed by a grand ceremony at the city's iconic Yongning Gate. The following day, they explored the history of the Qin and Han dynasties (220 BC - 220) through visits to the world-renowned Terracotta Warriors and the Shaanxi History Museum.
