Taiwan youths enjoy mainland summer trip By Zhu Zhe and Wang Zhuoqiong (China Daily) Updated: 2005-07-12 05:51
In the coming days, students will visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall,
Beijing Zoo, and Peking, Tsinghua and Renmin universities. They will also visit
the Memorial Hall of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to
commemorate the 60th anniversary of the victory.
On Friday, members will be divided into smaller groups to continue their trip
on the mainland.
Another group of students from Taiwan, in Beijing for the Sixth
Beijing-Taiwan Youth Week sponsored by the Beijing Municipal Taiwan Affairs
Office, said they were looking forward to seeing the Forbidden City and giant
pandas in the zoo.
Tsai Yifen, 18, from Taipei, who will fly her self-made rocket in a
competition with Beijing high school students on Saturday, said the event would
help her make friends from the mainland.
"We have the same interests and the same language," she said. "I felt
comfortable talking with them."
And the Beijing students are as cheerful as their guests.
Li Chen, 16, of the No 159 Middle School who is a students' tour guide, met
Li Yiping, 16, from Taiwan. Li Chen said: "We have the same surname. We're one
family."
