Unveiling Korea's Wonders on a School Trip to Korea
Just recently, our Beyond Classrooms team marked a significant milestone. Under the guidance of Director Haena, who’s also a local Korean, accompanied by enthusiastic students from QSI International School in Shenzhen, we embarked on an enchanting journey to unravel the captivating marvels of South Korea.
Let’s have a quick look at all these exciting moments:
Dive into Korea's Cultural Tapestry
Journeying from serene mountains to vibrant city streets, our expedition provided a deep dive into the intricate tapestry of Korea's rich history and dynamic contemporary culture. This immersive experience exposed us to the distinctive language, exquisite cuisine, time-honored traditions, and awe-inspiring natural landscapes that define this East Asian gem.
An unforgettable highlight was our exploration of the historic Hwaseong Fortress, an architectural masterpiece dating back to the late 18th century. Standing tall with 6-meter-high walls spanning approximately 5.7 kilometers, this fortress symbolizes the zenith of the Joseon Dynasty, leaving an indelible mark on Korean architecture, urban planning, landscaping, and artistic expression.
Taste the Flavors of Korea
No educational tour to Korea is complete without indulging in the local culinary treasures. From sampling street food delights in bustling night markets to savoring authentic Korean dishes, our taste buds were treated to a symphony of flavors. To deepen our cultural immersion, we seized the opportunity to partake in a hands-on cooking class led by a seasoned chef. Embarking on the culinary adventure, we endeavored to recreate classic Korean delicacies, gaining profound insights into the intricacies of local gastronomy and culinary heritage.
Eco-Exploration Along Korea's Coastline
Venturing along the Korean coastline, we discovered the enchanting mudflats, known as "Getbol" in Korean, renowned for their ecological significance and diverse biodiversity. These intertidal mudflats form vital habitats for migratory birds, shellfish, and marine life, underscoring the region's ecological richness.
Our exploration included a fascinating treasure hunt activity amidst these unique landscapes, offering us an opportunity to uncover the hidden wonders within. Even the playful experience of getting a little stuck in the mud added a touch of joy and spontaneity to our memorable escapade.
This educational journey in Korea highlights the cultural, historical, culinary, and ecological treasures, awaiting students on immersive educational tours to this vibrant East Asian destination.
