The second stop was the People’s Park located in downtown Chengdu, where students can enjoy the beautiful nature and fascinating culture of Chengdu. The People’s Park is where Chengdu people come to chill and relax with family and friends. There are multiple events going on in the park every day including gardening, culture relics protection lectures, patriotism education, and etc. After visiting this local attraction, Spring 2019 students now have more idea how Chengdu’s people day to day look like.

Chengdu International Sister City Exhibition

The final stop was the Chengdu International Sister City Exhibition. Chengdu has established sister city relationships with 31 cities, and friendly and cooperative ties with 40 cities across the world, which brings the city a closer connection with the outside world. Here, our G-MEO students learned about the history of Chengdu as well as its partner cities.

It was a busy and fulfilling day for our students. By taking them to explore the famous city attractions and introducing them to transportation methods and various food options in the city, they should feel more comfortable living and studying here going forward.
