In addition to
our classroom experiences, our group from University of Kentucky has learned a
great deal about Chinese history and culture during a variety of
excursions. These are some photos from
our day at Tang Dynasty Culture Park and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Xiaolan and Dr. Henry coordinated a very
pleasant day, complete with an English speaking guide who demonstrated Chinese
calligraphy, to an evening performance of Tang dynasty era dance, folklore and
music. After an interpretative tour of
the bell tower, drum tower, temples and art displays, we spent the afternoon
walking through the poetry garden and enjoying the bronze statues that depicted
both modern and historical figures.
