From the bustling Bund to the festive Yuyuan Garden, the students embarked on a journey of cultural immersion, forging friendships and creating lasting memories along the way.
"It's a very colorful event for the Chinese people," said Hirantha Athulathmudali, a Sri Lankan student at Shanghai University. "They dress up, prepare special food, and celebrate with great enthusiasm. It's a very special time for them."
The trip began with a visit to the Bund History Memorial, where students traced the evolution of Shanghai from a modest fishing village to a global metropolis. Photographs, artifacts, and historical accounts brought to life the city's dramatic transformation over the past 150 years, leaving a deep impression on the students.
