Peace Hotel Legacy Tour

       On the afternoon of October 12, 2023, accompanied by teachers of various disciplines, the G10 students of the Jiaoke BC program opened the “Peace Hotel Legacy Tour” at the Peace Hotel, exploring the centenary of China and inheriting the spirit of national rejuvenation.

Part 1 Museum Exploration

       The staff of the Peace Hotel warmly welcomed the BC students. After taking a break in the restaurant, the instructor led the students to visit the Peace Hall where President Xi held the China International Expo State Banquet, the Nine Nation Suite that recorded the diplomatic situation of major countries, Chaplin Stairs, and other landmarks in the Peace Hotel. The beautiful decorative style and the profound historical and cultural significance it contained deeply attracted the students’ exploration eyes.

Part 2 Dough Figurines Experience

       Dough figurines, commonly known as making dough figures, were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list in 2000. Mr. An Bin, the master of dough figures in Peace Hotel, showed the art of dough figures to the students. The students gathered around Master An and knead dough with him excitedly, discussing and feeling the charm of traditional art together!

The Bund City Walk starts from Yan ‘an Road in the south and reaches White Bridge in the north. Students are curious to explore the classical buildings with different styles such as Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque. The former Shanghai General Association, Asia Building and HSBC Bank buildings stand in the historical development and change, so they can understand the Bund and the Shanghai spirit of enlightened, wise, humble and modest.
