Trip to Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai
This year on the 31st March a group of 19 Lynfield college students, along with four students from Waitakere College, left for the Greentown Yuhua School exchange in China. The trip was led by Mr Aitken, Mr Welsh, Mrs Fang and Ms Smith.
Over the course of 18 days, students were luck enough to participate in a range of activities where they could experience Chinese customs, traditions and cuisine. This included travelling to famous places such as Tian an Men Square, The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City as well as taking part in Chinese cooking, taekwondo and tea ceremonies.
Cities visited included Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai with the majority of time spent in Hangzhou. It was wonderful for students to form friendships with their host partners at Greentown Yuhua School and to get involved in the activities planned each day.
