Experiencing Chi na's many personalities was a central theme of this 20-day tour. Participants immersed themselves in the mill ennia -old nation, learning about the past and admiring its aggressive drive into the future. The tour began in Beijing, the political and cu ltu ra l capita l of China and home to many famous historic landmarks. Events of the past came to life as alumni wa lked the streets of the Forbidden City, taking in its palaces, court­ yards, and ga rden s; stood in Tiananmen Square, the backdrop of historic anti-government protests; and stroll ed along the largest man -made stru cture in the world-the Great Wall of China. "It was sur­ real to visit places I had only seen in picture books," Deyo says. "Ch in a's cities date back thousands of years; you feel like you're standing in history." The trip highlighted Chinese culture with tradi­ tional meals, museum visits, and boat tours of the vivid landscape The travelers journeyed to nine cities and cru ised down the Yangtze River. A lu mni took advantage of extraordin ary opportunities to interact with local residents. While in Hangzhau, they were welcomed into a farmer's home for lunch. Communicating through transla tors, they chatted with the fam il y and learned more about their livel i­ hood of cu ltivating tea. By experiencing local life, visitors gained a personal perspective on today's China . "It was interesting to see how average people lived day to day and to interact with them," Douglas Richards '53 says. "In some ways they are more modern than we are in the United States, but, at the same time, they engage in activities that have been in existence for thousands of years." - Kayleigh Minicozzi
