6月6日，北京海外学人中心与门头沟区委组织部共同主办的2025北京国际人才嘉年华——“探秘京西古道，解密非遗传承”活动成功举办。来自美国、英国、法国、巴基斯坦等11个国家地区的国际人才及家属齐聚门头沟区，共同开启一场京西古韵探访、非遗技艺体验的沉浸式文化之旅。
On June 6, the 2025 Beijing International Talents Carnival event—"Explore the Ancient Road of Western Beijing, Discover Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage"—was successfully hosted by Beijing Overseas Talents Center and Organization Department of Mentougou District Committee. International talents and their families from 11 countries and regions, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Pakistan, gathered in Mentougou District to embark on an immersive cultural journey through the ancient charm of West Beijing and hands-on experiences of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) craftsmanship.
活动首先参观了古道博物馆，通过对京西古道概况、历史和新颜的讲解，促进国际人才对古道的深入了解。京西古道是北京西部千年交通史的遗迹，按照功能与用途，可以分为商旅络绎的商道、攻防战守的军道与朝拜神庙的香道。如今，当代古道失去原本的功能，但并未被遗忘，已从古代的“高速路”转变成新时代的“文旅路”。
The event commenced with a visit to the Ancient Path Museum. Through detailed presentations on the history, significance, and modern transformation of the West Beijing Ancient Paths, participants gained a deeper understanding of these historic routes. Serving as relics of a millennium of transportation history in western Beijing, the ancient paths are categorized by function and purpose into three types: bustling trade routes, strategic military roads, and pilgrimage trails to temples. While these paths have lost their original purpose in contemporary times, they remain far from forgotten. They have now evolved from ancient "expressways" into modern "cultural and tourism routes" of the new era.
之后，国际人才徒步京西古道，探访西风瘦马的千年古韵。活动从水峪嘴村出发，一路走古商道、找马蹄窝、看风景，感受古韵悠悠的村落，踏足沧桑古朴的石板路，还有那隐匿于山林间的古驿站，去寻觅、去聆听、去感受。北京航空航天大学中法工程师学院副院长Mariem Kacem Boureau感叹道：“这次探访京西古道活动安排的很充实，我们不仅从博物馆了解古道历史，还亲身攀爬古道，看到了古道马蹄印迹，非常震撼”。
Afterwards, international talents hiked along the ancient trails of Western Beijing, exploring the thousand-year-old charm of the "On ancient road in the west wind a lean horse goes". The activity started from Shuiyu Village, where they walked along the ancient trade routes, searched for horse hoof prints, and enjoyed the scenery. They experienced the ancient villages with their lingering charm, stepped on the ancient and simple stone paths, and visited the ancient post stations hidden in the mountains and forests, seeking, listening, and feeling. Mariem Kacem Boureau, the vice dean of Centrale Pékin at Beihang University, said, "This exploration of the ancient trails in Western Beijing was very fulfilling. We not only learned about the history of the trails from the museum but also personally climbed the ancient trails and saw the horse hoof prints, which was very impressive."
行程压轴的金隅琉璃文化创意产业园体验活动，位于门头沟区龙泉镇琉璃渠村，在历史上这里是京西古道的重要驿站和琉璃官窑所在地。国际人才通过参观琉璃展览和生产车间，增加对琉璃起源、构筑和烧制技艺“非遗”活态传承的认识，深入了解门头沟区在乡村振兴高质量发展过程中依托国企资源开展老旧厂房改造的成果，并亲手体验了琉璃制作。中国外文局编辑Maitri Sharma感慨：“制作琉璃的过程很有趣，现在可能还看不出我画的是龙，但上釉烧制之后它就会变得非常惊艳，我很期待！我十分享受这个过程，这不仅是一次制作体验，更让我体会到如何耐心地去完成工作”。
The grand finale of the itinerary was the experiential activity at Jinyu Colored Glaze Cultural and Creative Industrial Park. Located in Liuliqu Village, Longquan Town, Mentougou District, this area historically served as a vital post along the ancient Western Beijing Route and the site of imperial kilns for glazed architectural ceramics. International talents deepened their understanding of the origins, structures, and living heritage of the "intangible cultural heritage" techniques of glazed ceramic firing through visits to exhibitions and production workshops.They gained profound insights into Mentougou District’s achievements in leveraging SOE resources to revitalize old factory buildings during its high-quality rural revitalization efforts. Participants also engaged in hands-on glazed ceramic crafting. Maitri Sharma, an editor from China International Communications Group, remarked: "The process of making glazed ceramics is fascinating. What I painted may not look like a dragon yet, but after glazing and firing, it will become truly stunning—I can't wait! I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It’s more than just a crafting session; it taught me the value of patience in completing work."
此次活动是2025北京国际人才嘉年华系列活动的第五场活动，紧扣多彩文化主题，让历史可触、文化可感。来自中国科学院高能物理研究所的Ghazal Rao研究员表示：“这是我来到北京的第一年，也是第一次了解到门头沟区有如此优美的景色和悠久的历史。北京是一个到处都是宝藏的城市，希望可以有更多机会探索北京，发现北京。”下一步，北京海外学人中心将持续深化国际人才服务，通过开展国际人才嘉年华系列活动，为国际人才在京搭建全方位、立体化的互动平台。
This event is the fifth activity in the 2025 Beijing International Talents Carnival series. It closely focuses on the theme of diverse cultures, making history tangible and culture perceivable. Dr. Ghazal Rao, a researcher from the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences said, "This is my first year in Beijing, it's also the first time I've learned that Mentougou District has such beautiful scenery and a long history. Beijing is a city full of treasures everywhere. I hope to have more opportunities to explore and discover Beijing." In the next step, the Beijing Overseas Talents Center will continue to deepen international talent services. Through carrying out the International Talents Carnival series of activities, it will build a comprehensive interaction platform for international talents in Beijing.
