Students majoring in tourism planning, led by assistant professor Zhang Yang, visited the Qinghui Garden in Shunde city, a major historical and cultural site protected at the national level on March 30 (Picture 3). Teamed up, students experienced the planning and operation of tourism routine through itinerary management, transport and food bookings, and tour interpretation, understood the landscape characteristics of Lingnan garden and investigated the cultural and geographical connections between classical garden and modern city.
Students obtained more professional practice experiences and knew how to combine theories from books with practice, based on which experience they learned to figure out problems and conduct future research. Meanwhile, students in these learning activities demonstrated their various good qualities and abilities through enthusiastic participation, sufficient preparation and convincing performance.
