8月27日至9月8日，“跨越山海，文明互鉴”宁波大学—昂热大学联合学院法国访华大学生中国文化与遗产学术训练营正式举办。19名来自法国昂热大学人文地理与城乡规划系的学生，怀着好奇与期待，踏上了中国之行，展开一段杭甬双城的探索之旅。

From August 27 to September 8, the "Bridging Seas and Cultures" academic training camp on Chinese Culture and Heritage for French students was officially held by the Ningbo University–Université d'Angers Joint College. Nineteen students from the Department of Human Geography and Urban-Rural Planning at Université d'Angers embarked on a journey to China, full of curiosity and anticipation, to explore the twin cities of Hangzhou and Ningbo.

9月3日上午，训练营的同学们走进北仑港（宁波舟山港梅山港区），登上9楼平台俯瞰港区作业场景。放眼望去，堆叠如山的集装箱、川流不息的集卡车、繁忙有序的装卸作业尽收眼底。这座世界级大港以它恢宏的气势，让远道而来的法国学生们惊叹不已。许多人不自觉地拿出手机与相机，记录下这一幕幕震撼的景象。

On the morning of September 3, the students visited Beilun Port (Meishan Port Area, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port). Ascending to the 9th-floor observation platform, they were greeted by a sweeping view of the busy port operations. Towering stacks of containers, streams of trucks moving in orderly fashion, and the rhythmic loading and unloading of cargo captured the students' attention. The sheer scale and energy of this world-class port left the French students amazed, prompting many to take out their cameras and phones to capture the awe-inspiring scene.

作为全球货物吞吐量最大的港口，宁波舟山港连续16年稳居世界第一，2024年货物吞吐量已突破13亿吨。仅梅山港区，就拥有目前全球最大的自动化集装箱码头，港区水深条件优越，可同时停靠世界最大级别的集装箱船舶。港口的庞大体量与现代化设施，生动展示了宁波作为“东方大港”的实力与担当。

As the world's busiest port by cargo throughput for 16 consecutive years, Ningbo Zhoushan Port surpassed 1.3 billion tons of cargo in 2024. Meishan Port alone hosts the world's largest automated container terminal, with deep-water berths capable of accommodating the largest container ships globally. The port's massive scale and cutting-edge infrastructure vividly showcase Ningbo's strength and responsibility as a major hub in the East.

在平台上，讲解员详细介绍了北仑港的发展规模与运行情况，数百条航线联通全球190多个国家和地区，真正实现了“港通天下，服务世界”。宁波大学的老师贴心地将讲解翻译成法语，帮助同学们通过一个个具体数据，更直观地理解宁波港的全球地位和独特魅力。

On the rooftop terrace, a guide provided a detailed introduction to Beilun Port's scale and operations. Hundreds of shipping routes connect the port to countries and regions across the globe, embodying the spirit of "Future, Let's Go Together" Ningbo University faculty translated the explanations into French, helping the students grasp the port's global standing and unique appeal through concrete numbers and examples.

随后，同学们走进讲解室，通过数字梅山可视化系统进一步感受港口的智慧化管理。讲解员向大家展示了从无人集卡、自动化堆场，到智能调度系统的全过程，用四个“一”高度概括了北仑港智能系统带来的便利与机遇。正是这些智能化操作，使宁波舟山港在提效降本方面走在了世界前列，也让这座大港不断赢得更多国际客户的青睐。讲解中，老师还特意提到，一家法国航运企业的船舶就常常停靠在这里，这让法国学生倍感亲切。在互动提问环节，学生们积极提问，感叹智能化技术带来的积极效益和特点。

Next, the students entered a lecture room to experience the Meishan digital visualization system, gaining deeper insight into the port's intelligent management. The guide demonstrated the entire process—from automated trucks and container yards to smart scheduling systems—summarizing the benefits of Beilun Port's smart system in four key points. These intelligent operations have propelled Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to the forefront of efficiency and cost reduction worldwide, while attracting more international clients. The guide also noted that a French shipping company frequently docks here, which sparked particular interest among the students. During the interactive Q&A, students eagerly asked questions and marveled at the advantages and impact of smart technology.

Tom Sallē表示：“这是我第一次来到宁波，之前我并不知道宁波。这两天在宁波感受到了这座城市的现代化，不仅如此，城市还在不断建设和更新中，而今天我们参观的港口真的令人赞叹，现代化水平超越了法国的大部分港口。”同样来自昂热大学的Esther René感慨道：“这里的港口规模令人印象深刻，对这里所有的一切都非常好奇。虽然在宁波参观的地方还不多，但我已经很期待未来有机会再来，探索这座城市更多好玩的地方。”

Tom Sallē shared his impressions: "This is my first visit to Ningbo, and I had hardly known about the city before. Over these past two days, I've experienced its modernity firsthand. The city is constantly being built and renewed, and today's visit to the port was truly impressive. Its level of modernization surpasses most ports in France." Esther René, also from Université d'Angers, added: "The port's scale is breathtaking, and I'm curious about everything here. Although we've only seen a few places in Ningbo so far, I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the city."

从课堂到港口，从历史到现代，法国青年们在短短几天里亲身感受到了宁波的速度与温度。跨越山海的交流不仅让他们更好地了解中国，也为他们带来新的视野和思考。

The Ningbo University–Université d'Angers joint summer camp has become an annual tradition. From classrooms to ports, from history to modernity, French students experience Ningbo's pace, energy, and culture in just a few days. These cross-cultural exchanges not only deepen their understanding of China but also broaden their perspectives and inspire new ways of thinking.

未来，宁波大学将继续搭建这样的交流平台，让更多法国年轻人走进宁波、体验宁波、分享宁波，让这份跨越国界的青春故事持续书写。

Looking ahead, Ningbo University will continue to provide such platforms, welcoming more young French students to experience Ningbo, share in its culture, and contribute to the ongoing story of cross-border youth exchange.
