Students from Shanxi learn life lessons on road

For 11 students from northern China's Shanxi province, the best way to celebrate adulthood was a 1,800 kilometer cycling trip this summer.

Geography teacher Lan Huiyun, who organized the special trip for the students from Shuocheng District No 1 Middle School in Shuozhou to commemorate the end of high school has won widespread acclaim among netizens.

It was a special coming-of-age ceremony for the teenagers and also the last lecture they received from Lan before embarking on university life after the summer vacation.
