Apart from understanding the up-to-date developments happening in China, iMUSE also advocated delegates to feel the traditional Chinese society: during the conference, delegates were divided into different groups, and delegates in each group had a task in which they would visit a Hutong, figure out problems and possibilities, and put forward their insights and solutions within the final presentation in the last day in terms of their discoveries.
