Trip Advisory

Improvement: 

Timetable for Huangshan:

We hope that there would be a better timetable management. It was a pity that we did not have the chance to witness the sunset / sunrise. This segment could be included because we were all anticipating for that item. Although we did enjoy the 8km hike as a class, we felt that it would be more meaningful and have a greater sense of achievement if we saw the sunset/sunrise. We can end of the previous day earlier so that we can have ample of sleeping time and set of for huangshan earlier the next day.

Fengle ecological park:

We did not visit the fengle ecological park even after much research on that place. It was a pity for the sudden change of location. The school could have better communicated with the travel agency to avoid such things from happening again.

Iflytek:

There could be a better planning on the activities because there was a lot of free time when only half of the class was introduced to their technology. They could have planned more meaningful activities for us to do and experience.

Baogongci park:

We feel that some of the informations in the baogongci park could be found on the net thus i think that it wasn't that necessary for us to stay and visit that place for such a long time which also made most of us very tired due to the heat. Not only that, we also weren't able to hear the tour guide clearly, lowering our efficiency.  

School immersion:

We had only visited the school for a few hours and it was a pity that we were not able to thoroughly experience China's culture and education system that was very much different from that of Singapore's. It would be more fulfilling if only we got to spend more time interacting with our buddies!

Xidi and hongcun:

We felt that the time given to walk around and shop was a little insufficient. The souvenirs sold at these sites were unique and full of China's unique flavour. However, we wished that we could be able to, perhaps, have more free time, to explore these ancient villages and their special features ourselves, as well as having time to ourselves to buy gifts for our love ones!

Tangyue:

We could have more time to shop at that place since the souvenirs sold there brings out China's rich and unique culture. We could have also spend more time looking at the architectures there since that place also contains china's heritage. We felt that it was a pity since we did not buy as much souvenirs as we expected thus if we had more time there, we would feel even more satisfied. 

Must:

Singapore Creative Technology Hefei

High speed rail:

It is a fast mode of transport for us to travel from Shanghai to Hefei as compared to the bus ride we took to return to Shanghai from Hefei which took us around 6 hours. It is also a convenient mode of transport and its a special feature China since not many countries have this facility just like Singapore. We were also able to witness and appreciate the breathtaking scenery of China thus we think that the high speed rail is something we must experience.

Li hong zhang:

The visit to Lihongzhang former residence was very informative and i definitely learnt many things after the visit. We already had some background information about lihongzhang since we learnt about him during our history lessons before thus the visit to his former residence was able to allow us to link back to what we had learnt before. Not only that, we also understood his significance in the China history and was able to see the links in the China history we had learn thus we felt that it was actually quite an interesting visit.

remove:

Huishang big house:

We feel that the huishang big house was a not a necessary place to visit since the place wasnt able to completely bring out the heritage and culture of China. The huishang big house was actually refurnished to give people just an idea of how this house looked like thus its new look was not able to make me able to experience how was it like living in the house last time. Thus, we feel that the huishang big house can be removed.

Meiling:

We felt that it was unnecessary to visit meiling since the tour guide there wasn't able to bring out the unique feature of their company. We also weren't able to learn much about China's technology development since the tour guide only brought out the unique features of their refrigerator but not how their company affected China as a whole.

Shexian:

Before and after we visited Shexian, we also had went to many similar historical sites and what we learn from all those places was very similar. This Shexian place was not very memorable since it did not really had a unique feature and we did not buy souvenirs from there too. Since there were already so many historical sites throughout our whole oelp trip, we feel that shexian can be removed so it was not a very signicant learning visit thus we felt that this place can be removed.

Add:

Shanghai bund:

Instead of spending so much time on transport on the last day, we could have went to shanghai instead and visit the places there since we all know that Shanghai is a world class city. Also, we were actually told to compare Shanghai and Hefei but since we weren't able to visit Shanghai, we also weren't able to make the comparison thus we feel that it is a pity.
