July 4th, 2024, is the third day of the International Summer Camp. Participants experienced Chinese tea culture up close, starting with a tea picking session at the Dingxin Tea Garden. Later, they also participated in the tea making process.

Tea Picking

Led by the master, the participants poured the newly picked tea leaves into the wok, tossing and rolling them with their hands for optimal preparation. For the participants, the process of picking, processing, and tasting tea is not only a bond connecting them with nature but also an immersive experience of the unity of mind and body in traditional Chinese culture.

Experiencing Tea Culture

In the afternoon, the group toured the Three Gorges Museum, gaining insights into the region's rich history and natural heritage, including exhibits of Ba-Yu, Three Gorges, and Anti-Japanese War cultures. They were deeply moved by the grandeur of the Three Gorges' culture, solemnized by the dignity of the Anti-Japanese War culture, and further impressed by the historical traces of the migration culture, which deepened their understanding of Chongqing's diverse and inclusive cultural characteristics.
