Last Day in China

Today, as we said goodbye to China, we visited what is perhaps the most recognizable symbol of the grandeur of this country: the Great Wall. The Wall was first built by Emperor Qin and the current stretch of Wall was completed during the Ming Dynasty. We enjoyed the view from the Wall and ate a delicious picnic lunch!


For this, the final blog post from China, I would like to thank all of the people who made this study tour possible. On behalf of all participants, thank you to EF Education, the Freeman Foundation, and other funders for your generous support. Thank you to the staff at Primary Source who spent hours preparing for all aspects of our trip. Thank you to our families, our schools, and our students for allowing us to be away on this important learning experience. We all agree that this trip has profoundly affected us; we are returning home changed by what we have seen, the people we have met, and all that we have learned.
