In order to enrich the learning and practical experience of international students studying in China, and enable them to better understand China and experience Chinese culture, on October 19th, our school organized a cultural experience activity at Huangyaguan Great Wall for all international students to personally experience the charm of ancient Chinese civilization and appreciate the magnificence of traditional Chinese culture.
During the activity, the teacher explained in detail the historical background and architectural features of the Great Wall, and shared many interesting stories and legends about the Great Wall. The overseas students listened with great interest, marveled at the majesty of the Great Wall and the wisdom and courage of the Chinese people, and expressed their profound understanding of the Chinese people's spirit of perseverance and self-improvement. Subsequently, everyone climbed up the steps of the Great Wall and personally experienced its steepness and magnificence. Classmates climb while enjoying the surrounding scenery, occasionally stopping to take photos as souvenirs. On the beacon tower of the Great Wall, everyone overlooks the beautiful scenery below and feels the glory and weight of ancient Chinese civilization.
This traditional Chinese culture experience activity is of great significance to international students. They are not only amazed by the magnificent momentum of the Great Wall, but also deeply admire the hardworking, brave, and self improving national spirit of the Chinese nation. International students have expressed that this event has helped them exercise their physical fitness, hone their willpower, become more passionate about Chinese culture, and cherish the opportunity to study in China.
