Students at THINK Global School really got to experience Yunnan with a different perspective. WildChina 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)

At the Zhonghe Temple in Dali, WildChina Guide Zhang Jiong shared his knowledge on luck. Check out the students aiming for good fortune.

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! WildChina will definitely note this on our future journeys there.
