On October 21st2017, over 80 overseas students, organized and headed by teachers of Overseas Students Affairs Office, visited Tianjin for one-day social and cultural activities.
On the way, students talked about what they have seen and heared in Beijing and listened carefully to the guide’s introduction of Beijing and Tianjin. They showed strong interests in Chinese history and culture.
In Tianjin, students visited Yu River around Yangliuqing area and the renowned Yangliuqing Museum. They walked in traditional Chinese mansions, lingered around various traditional rooms and halls and listened to the guide introducing social experiences and contributions of several generations of the Shi Family. In addition, they appreciated exquisite traditional New Year paintings and drawing board and tools that boast cultural values. Some students even tried to draw New Year paintings themselves.
Overseas students were intrigued by family culture and handicrafts and took photos for keeping memory.
Through the social and cultural activities, the students made new friends and understood more about Chinese history and culture. More such activities will be organized to take overseas students out of the campus and help them deepen their experience and understanding of Chinese culture.
