On October 23, 2023, the College of International Education organized international students to visit Jinshan, learn about the urban development and cultural customs of Jinshan, andenjoythe unique style of Shanghai.
The first destination on the itinerary was Jinshanzui Fishing Village in Shanghai, which holds the distinction of being the earliest fishing village on the coastal land of Shanghai and the last fishing village remaining in the city. Located adjacent to Hangzhou Bay and on the north side of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, the village is just a short distance from the sea, with Jinshan Island visible across the water. International students immersedthemselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the Shanghai Old Street within Jinshanzui Fishing Village. They were able to experience the unique coastal customs and savor the local cuisine, which provided them with novel and enriching experiences.
