Promoting Chinese culture globally, narrating China's story, and amplifying its voice are essential for enhancing China's cultural soft power and fostering the exchange and mutual appreciation of civilizations in contemporary times. Investigating the current awareness and acceptance of Chinese culture in Turkmenistan is significant for increasing China's cultural influence and communication strength, as well as for intensifying cultural exchanges between China and Turkmenistan. A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine Turkmenistan's perception of Chinese culture across four dimensions: willingness to learn, mediums of learning, content of learning, and the impact of learning. The respondents exhibit a strong willingness to learn about Chinese culture, visit China, and befriend Chinese people. Their overall perception of representative Chinese cultural symbols is positive. Awareness of contemporary cultural symbols such as high-speed trains, bicyclesharing systems, and mobile phone brands is high. However, there is generally a lower awareness of cultural symbols related to art and traditional life.
