Students not only learned information, but also understood diverse cultures and customs from this event, which was deeply enjoyed by everyone. The teachers also went to the Zhenlai museum and Momoge natural protection area to understand the history and culture of Zhenlai county.

It was Ryen's fourth time to attend the teaching event. He thinks it is a precious and meaningful chance for him to understand Chinese culture. Tommia, from the US, will never forget this amazing experience. A Vietnamese teacher whose family name is Ruan calls this event the happiest time in China so far.
