On May 28th, 2015, a group of our students, parents and Ms. Zhang arrived in Beijing after 16 hours flight. Where everything looks like downtown, Beijing is the capital of China with a population of 11.51 million. We visited the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, a local high school,…and the most unforgettable, the Great Wall. Four days later, we flew to Luoyang and took the high speed train to Xi’an, experiencing Kungfu, Terra Cota army, Longmen Grottos, the City Wall of Xi’an, and etc. Then, we flew to the east coast, visiting the West Lake in Hang Zhou, silk factory and typical Chinese gardens in Su Zhou, Zhou Zhuang the water town, and finally Shanghai, the largest city in China with both renowned historical sites and extensive skyline. Indulging in the extremely rich Chinese culture for 14 days, this trip was a trip that all will remember for their whole life.

On May 29th, 2015, we visited High School Affiliated to BIT (Beijing Institute of Technology) in Beijing. During the 3-hour visiting, we had a formal meeting with administrators and students of HSABIT and took a school tour. The HSABIT ambassadors introduced their school in English, and our students Jack Meeker and Suraj Masand introduced AHS all in Chinese (which shocked them:)-). After exchanging information, they had separated interviews with our AHS students, parents, and me (the interviews have been played in their school broadcast). Also we visited all of their wonderful clubs, activity rooms, enrichment classes and regular classes. It was an experience we will never forget.

The following is a news report on their school website about this visiting.
