CHONGQING, June 12 ( tasteallchina ) -- A group of American youths commended the Chongqing Stilwell Museum for its important role in fostering close people-to-people and cultural relations between the United States and China during their recent trip to southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

Their five-day visit to the city started on June 7.
