The delegation of nearly 100 teachers and students from more than 10 high schools in Washington state was part of China's initiative to invite 50,000 young people from the U.S. for exchange and study programs in the country over five years.
Since the initiative was announced in San Francisco last November more than 10,000 U.S. teenagers have visited.
Ronda Litzenberger, a member of the delegation, said the hospitality, culture and scenery far exceeded her expectations, and it was a rich cultural exchange that will leave a lasting impression on her.

TV SHOWS
An artistic triumph. A record-breaking 18 Emmy wins. An all-time viewership high for FX.
MOVIES
If you read only the synopsis of Babygirl before seeing it, you might imagine it's an erotic age-gap thriller about the workplace power dynamic between men and women.
BOOKS
Percival Everett's reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which won a National Book Award, is a sweeping story centering on Jim, the enslaved sidekick in Mark Twain's classic adventure tale.

PODCASTS
The most engrossing podcast Dan Taberski has produced since Missing Richard Simmons, Hysterical investigates a mysterious illness that spread among high school girls in Le Roy, N.Y., beginning in 2011, in what is believed to be the largest case of mass hysteria since the Salem witch trials.
Elton JOHN
Elton John has no address. Visitors to his home are given three names: the name of a house, the name of a hill, and the name of a town, which is near Windsor, as in Windsor Castle, where King Charles III lives.
