Climbing up the “53 steps” and passing through the winding ancient streets, we came to the Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda, a stone pagoda passed down from the Yuan Dynasty, amidst singing and laughter. About this tower, there is a very interesting legend: it is said that people who walk under the tower will have good luck. Everyone was very excited to walk past the stone tower, expecting good luck to happen.

The international students climbed up to admire the ancient Huizhou architectural complex. They came to “A Glance at the Millennium”, where they looked at the base of the ancient street road in the archaeological excavation pit and traced the long history.

Passing through the Pavilion of Waiting for Ferry, we came to the “Name Edge”. Prof. Ren Xiaofei was very excited to share with everyone the classic Chinese Montessori “Hundred Surnames” and suggested everyone to look for their own surnames, and the Korean students all started to look for their own surnames with great enthusiasm, which was an unexpected gain during the trip and made everyone very excited.

At the beginning of the night, the activity was coming to an end, and the international students, full of enthusiasm, recited “In the slanting moon of the river at night, two or three starry flames are in Guazhou”, which was a successful conclusion for this course activity.
