A total of 19 people attended the tour, three of which were Parks ide students. Before the trip, the participants engaged in eight two-hour lectures. In the lectures, the students learned about the geography, culture and social institu- tions of China in the twentieth century. The leader of the trip, Wang, is a native of China who speaks the language. In addition to his 30 year residence in China, Wang directed an exchange project with the People's University of China in 1996. The trip began in Beijing with a three and one half day visit. While in Beijing, the students visited The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Ming Tomb (burial place of emperors) and Tiananmen Square. Along with these stops, the participants attended a lecture on Traditional Chinese Medicine and an Acrobatic Show. The next stop on the tour was to Xian, the ancient capital of China. The stop consisted or two and one half days and a trip to the First Emperor's Tomb, Tera Cotta Soldiers, a Jade carving facto- ry, craft market and a Tang Show. (Tang is one of the Chinese Dynasties) . Following Xian the trip moved to Hangzhou, meaning Paradise on Earth, for two days. There, the students visited Ling Yin Temple (a Buddhist Temple), a Pagoda, lea plantation and went on a boat ride on the West Lake. After Hangzhou, a one day stop was made in Suzhou. Lion Net Garden (pri- vate garden), Tiger Hill (Historical Site), a silk factory, an embroidery institute and an evening show detailing the Chinese tradition of music were the items on the itinerary for that city. From there, the trip went to Shanghi, also a one day stop. In this city the class journeyed through the Old City of Shanghi, Yu Garden, Jade Buddhist Temple and a boat tour to see the sky light of the metropolitan area. The next area on the tour was a two and one half day adventure in Guilin where the class went on a five hour boat lour down the Li River, Elephant Trunk Hill and the Flute Cave. The final destination was to Guangzhou. In this city, the students spent one day exploring a Buddhist Temple and the Museum of Chinese Folk Art. According to Wang, the tour went well. He stated that the participants enjoyed the trip for several reasons. First, they liked the university tour rather than an individual tour because they had an expert who could help them with the lan- guage and the culture. They also believed that the class, taught by Wang, that was held previous 10 the trip was informative and very helpful. Wang also stated that he felt the stu- dents enjoyed the variety of programs offered while in China. For example, the ;spect of education was filled'~'lth'T~;~:": tures, visits to historic sites and tours of factories. It also proved to be very entertaining. The students were allowed time to roam the cities and participate in activities not lead by the tour. Some of these activities included: the Acrobatic show and shop- ping and bartering on the streets. They also went to evening dinner shows. Although the trip was a great suc- cess, Wang said that he bel ieved the stu- dents would have like to have more free time, smaller lunches and an opportunity to talk candidly with more people. Ryan Gleason and Katie Majdoch were two tjw-Parkside students who par- ticipated on the trip. Both agreed that it was all amazing experience. They attrib- uted much of the success of the tour 10 director, Wang. They stated that the classes before hand were very helpful and that Wang's knowledge of the area proved to be important. Gleason and Majdoch agreed that they would take the trip again in a second for many reasons. "It was a very reasonable rate," stat- ed Gleason, "we stayed in the best hotels, ate the best food and went to the best shows and it was all taken care of." Along with the low expenses, they learned about the c,!Jlture. Both com- mented on Beijing which has 30 million people, the historic sites and beautiful scenery. Gleason thought that seeing all of the ancient places was an overwhelm- mg expenence. For Majdoch, the best part of the trip was Guilin. "It was beautiful," she said, "we went on a boat tour through lime stone." According to both students, the peo- ple of China were all very friendly. At one point, a high school student approached Majdoch so that she could practice her English. The Chinese tour guides were also great. While in China, Bill Clinton was making the same tour. "rhe gu ides moved th ings around so that the Parks ide tour was not interrupted by the President's, visit. Although the group was diverse, Gleason was disappointed that there were only three Parks ide students in atten- dance. A Ithough the financial aid process was tedious, it was far from impossible and well worth it.
