The trip to the ancient town is a new descovery of Chinese culture. From the old architecture to the pre-dated drainage system, the ancient town is trully a world of it's own. Strolling along the streets of the town and you can't help but admire the beautiful works around the places while also peek at the many accessories sold. Being a fan of art, I was delighted to meet a calligraphy expert willing to share his skills and show off his works. I am even more honoured to have him skillfully draw out my name in his unique style. The little items sold around the street, although cheap, also potrays a unique and traditional Chinese culture. From the finely weaved straw sandals to the skillfully crafted bamboo flute, every small item draw a better picture of the Chinese culture.
The car factory tour is a look into the world of outsourceing workforce done by major companies to gain more profit. The famous VoltWagen and Audi german brand cars are being manufactured here, which caused us to think whether we are getting what we are really paying for. Although, the trip also removes perceptions of a dirty and miserable workplace that most people will think of when they think of products produced in China. Therefore, the trip is an inside look into the manufacturing industry which has it's pros and cons.
