Event Name: Zhenjiang Culture TripOrganized by: Hand-in-Hand Volunteers AssociationVenue: Zhenjiang CityDate: October 19th, 2019Time: 08:00 – 17:30Attendance: 40

On 19th October, Hand-In-Hand (HIH) organized the Zhenjiang tour which started from the marvelous Beigu Shan (Beigu Mountain). The freshmen visited Zhenjiang's most beautiful tourist attractions and experienced the traditional Chinese calligraphy. An interview was conducted by the local people in which they asked the freshmen about their experiences in China so far and well, they were pretty impressed by everyone's response! The students enjoyed the delicious spicy vegetarian chicken biryani and wraps which were provided for lunch.

In addition to the wonderful experiences that morning, more was awaiting the freshmen as their next stop was Jinshan. A mountain with a temple with extraordinary Chinese architecture. The students tried their lucks by tossing coins in the dragon's mouth, some dressed up in traditional Chinese clothing in which they looked absolutely stunning just like the ancient Emperors and Empresses!

The adventure got more exciting as they arrived at Xijindu Ancient Street (Xinjin Ferry Street), a place with a lot of character and filled with old buildings with a rich historic feel. As they strolled through this ancient mountainside street, absorbed the face of the old city of Zhenjiang and experienced few samples of its cultural relics with many other people.

"All good things must come to an end", the exciting adventure finally came to an end with a visit to the Zhenjiang museum. All thanks to HIH volunteers, Dr. Arun, Julius, Roy, Imran (our photographer) and PandaTrip.
