On November 1, Wenzhou-Kean University organized more than 40 foreign teachers and their families to visit Wenzhou City and Nantang town to experience the traditional customs of Wenzhou, and feel the charm of Chinese culture.
Professor Agnes Tang, who just came to Wenzhou-Kean University to teach this year, said: “I like traditional Chinese architecture very much and the antique atmosphere. You can find a shopping mall anywhere, but you can’t find this anywhere. I like to feel Chinese traditional culture, and Gongyuan Road and Wuma Street are the collision of classical style and modern business. This is a great event.”
