Since the establishment of the Suzhou Language Volunteers for Global Visitors organization, participants have walked together through the stele corridors of the Suzhou Confucian Temple, strolled across the modern courtyards of the Suzhou Museum, and lingered in admiration of the exquisite layout of the Tuisi Garden. Nearly 100 volunteers from more than 10 countries and regions, speaking 14 languages, have time and again used language as a bridge to resonate Suzhou's millennia-old stories with the world.
