A wonderful journey of cultural exchange - experiencing the beauty of the Three Gorges

        Yu Chang Technical Commercial Vocational High School is committed to aligning with the international community. Following the successful implementation of the Rotary International Youth Exchange program last year, this year it welcomes students from Brazil again and collaborates with the New Taipei City's "International Exchange Student Exchange Implementation Program" to participate in the Rural Area Service Study Tour New Taipei, providing opportunities for foreign students to participate in various activities together with local students, And further deepen our understanding of the culture and characteristics of New Taipei City.

                During the event, we had close communication with the teachers and students of Three Gorges Dapu Elementary School, and took this opportunity to share the beauty of our hometown with foreign exchange students, while reflecting on how to present this beauty to more international friends in the future. Here is my summary and introduction of the beauty of the Three Gorges:

        1. The Three Gorges, shrouded in the fragrance of tea:

        The Three Gorges is famous for its rich tea culture, such as the Three Gorges Biluochun green tea, which is deeply loved by many people. We visited a tea garden where students wore hats and held bamboo baskets to personally experience the process of picking and making tea. This not only deepened the understanding of tea culture among foreign students, but also brought unforgettable interactive experiences to everyone.

        2. The cultural sentiment of ancient streets and alleys:

        The Three Gorges Old Street is like a time tunnel, leading tourists through history. The ancient architectural style, rich culture, and the aroma of traditional snacks wafting in the streets and alleys exude a strong sense of nostalgia. We wander on the slate street, savoring the delicious food and savoring the passionate lifestyle of the Three Gorges people.

        3. The intersection of faith and art:

        Visiting the Qingshui Ancestor Temple, everyone deeply felt the devout faith of Taiwanese people. The stone and wood carvings in the temple blend art and religion, leaving students amazed. In addition, the Japanese colonial era old house buildings displayed at the Three Gorges History Museum also allow foreign exchange students to experience the rich and diverse history of the local area.

        4. Friendly and lively students:

        As soon as we walked into the classroom of Dapu Elementary School, the elementary school students greeted us warmly in foreign languages and showed a high level of participation and friendly attitude in the cultural sharing class. The teachers of Dapu Elementary School not only assist students in integrating into the curriculum, but also participate in classroom activities with them to ask questions, allowing foreign students to feel the liveliness and friendliness of Taiwanese students, leaving behind beautiful memories.

        5. Adventures in taste buds:

        The most unforgettable thing is the home-made Dim sum made by foreign students, which is not only an interesting taste bud adventure, but also a taste feast across borders. Dapu Elementary School has also prepared Three Gorges Golden Bull Horn Bread and Pearl Milk Tea to promote deeper cultural exchanges.

        Through this exchange activity, everyone deeply understands the beauty of the Three Gorges, not only in terms of scenery, but also in terms of culture, human relations, and enthusiasm. In the future, we will continue to lead more international friends to understand the Three Gorges and experience this beautiful and vibrant land through communication. This is not only a cultural exchange, but also a journey of spiritual richness.
