for EIS-J
students
24 Emirates International Schools
19 students from Emirates International
School-Jumeirah took an adventure to
China this past June. Students and teachers
had the opportunity to visit a number of
historically and geographically important
sites and regions in China that have made
it the country it is today, including Beijing,
Xi'an and Shanghai.
1.
Students and teachers explored
many historical sites such as the
Forbidden City, Ming tombs and the
Great Wall of China. They enjoyed
trying new things, including traditional
Chinese Hot Pot and some street food
(except deep fried tarantula)!
2.
Next stop was the Terracotta
Warriors. A vast museum built on the
site where they were discovered in the
1970's. They also had the chance to
relax at a Chinese tea tasting before
dinner back in the city.
3.
The final few days were spent
exploring the modern, mega city
of Shanghai and the water town of
Zhujiajiao, known as the ‘Venice of
Shanghai’. A real glimpse into the
Modern day China. Visiting the Muslim
quarter and the urban planning office
gave the students some great case
study ideas for their next project on
urban development and sustainable
management of a mega city.
