The second round consisted of three segments: self-introduction and topic presentation, talent show, and a Chinese-language Q&A session. These segments were designed to comprehensively evaluate the contestants' language expression skills, depth of cultural understanding, and overall stage presence. During the topic presentation, several contestants highlighted the speed and convenience of China's high-speed rail, describing it as an embodiment of "China's speed and efficiency."

Arina Afanasenko, a contestant from Russia studying at Zhejiang Gongshang University, impressed the audience by writing the four characters "Tiān Xià Dà Tóng" (One World, One Family) in calligraphy. Her classmate, Valeriia Kuzminykh, also from Russia, delivered a heartfelt recitation of "China in the Moonlight" in a Qi Pao (cheongsam), captivating the audience with her fluent Chinese and emotional delivery. Ke Yuanyuan, an American student from Zhejiang University, expressed her affection for China through a beautiful rendition of the song "As You Wish".

Luo Jingjing, a Burmese student from Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, combined traditional Burmese dance with Chinese fan dancing, expressing her deep connection to China.
