Students at THINK Global School really got to experience Yunnan with a different perspective. AsiaTravel exposed the students to Dongba culture, Tibetan language, and Tiger Leaping Gorge, among others. Photographer / videographer Lindsay Clark put together some footage from the morning market in Shaping. The class thrived off of the interactions with locals: “Snapping photos, speaking in Mandarin, trying new foods – everyone takes their own approach to this outdoor classroom.” (Clark, TGS)

“Zhang Jiong explains the meaning of the Fu symbol that sits in front of a Chinese temple. Students at THINK Global School spin three times – eyes closed – and try to touch the symbol to bring good luck to their families; a little lesson and humor atop the Dark Green Mountains in Dali, China.” (Clark, TGS)
Still, Brad Ovenell-Carter the Head of School felt, “The visit to the Zhonghe Temple was too short. It would have been nice to stay at the hilltop for a while, perhaps to hold a drawing class and share a cup of tea.”
Thanks for the feedback, Brad! AsiaTravel will definitely note this on our future journeys there.
