ORGANIZED with the support of the Chinese Embassy to Myanmar, a tour group of Myanmar students and parents has departed for Harbin City in Heilongjiang Province to expe­rience the renowned annual Harbin Ice and Snow Festival.

 

The programme, facilitat­ed by the Bowen School with assistance from the Chinese Embassy, aims to strengthen people-to-people ties and foster friendship as part of the ongo­ing bilateral relations between Myanmar and China.

 

“Our goal is to provide the people of Myanmar with an op­portunity to experience the joy of China’s ice and snow world, explore the space museum, and deepen cultural exchang­es between our two countries. Tour participants will also gain firsthand exposure to Chinese culture in the northernmost province,” said Mr Song Le, director of the Bowen School.

 

Harbin City, well-known for ice and snow tourism in China, will host a festival fea­turing wonderlands adorned with Chinese-style sculptures and snow-crafted architec­ture. Visitors explored the Russian-inspired Zhongyang Pedestrian Street and its icon­ic churches, adding a unique cultural dimension to the ex­perience.

 

The Bowen School, es­tablished in Myanmar in 2016 and registered at the Minis­try of Education, offers com­prehensive Chinese language programmes alongside other subjects for elementary, prima­ry and lower secondary classes, with instruction provided by teachers certified with inter­national Chinese teaching li­cences. — TMT
