Study while touring

According to a survey, the number of students going for study trips increases by nearly 40 percent Early this spring, hundreds of students from Beijing Chenjinglun high School, gathered at Huangshan Mountam in Anhui. It wasn’t a usual trip. Besides enjoying the beautiful views, they also needed to learn about geography in the large National Geopark.

In recent years, such study tours have become popular in schools across China. By taking a trip or tour, students are expected to learn things not taught in the classroom, and get to know more about culture, history and nature. Zhang Jiaqi, a 16-yerr-old from Dalian Middle School, had a study tour to a local lavender ( 薰衣草 )garden. There they enjoyed the beautiful flowers, and also learned about the medicinal value of lavender, such as lightening scars(去除疤痕) and helping you sleep. Zhang said the trip was meaning "I want to be a girl like lavenders, for their inner and outer beauty, she said. Tan Wenjng and her classmates from Hechi No 4 middle school, Guanxi, didn’t go to see flowers. They got to touch history by visiting the local Hechi Revolutionary Memorial Hall.

Tan had been to the hall before. But the 14-year-old girl still got surprises from the trip. With the guide's introduction, Tan and many students were shocked to hear the names of their grandparents in the stories behind pictures.

“ I never knew history could be so close to my own life,” said Tan. “It let us know more about our place and our ancestors”
