We participated in morning exercise, and were entertained by countless traditional performances including tea ceremony, music, dance, Tai Chi, crafts, and Kung Fu. 2000 year old water irrigation site still functioning today! #LacyChina2018#GlobalTeachers@GoGlobalNC@BusickLacy
Bullet train 🚅 to Nanjing- 558 mi south of Beijing. It was a comfy, smooth, speedy 150-200mph ride. Walked to the Presidential Palace (first Forbidden City and original home to emperors). Confucius Temple was amazing! #LacyChina2018#GlobalTeachers@GoGlobalNC@BusickLacy
Fascinating tour of Lenovo’s Beijing HQ. Spent the afternoon at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City/ Palace Museum. Then on to a crazy acrobatics show that was awe-inspiring! #LacyChina2018#GlobalTeachers@GoGlobalNC@BusickLacy
Visited Beijing Royal School founded by Dr Wang Guangfa. This private school has incredible connections to UNC, NCSU, and all of NC! Had a blast teaching a lesson on US holidays. #LacyChina2018#GlobalTeachers@GoGlobalNC
We made it! 14hr flight from DC to Beijing. Went out last night with a small group to an open air market and enjoyed noodles and dumplings. Watched some adventurous friends try fried seahorse, starfish, and even scorpion! #LacyChina2018@GoGlobalNC#globalteachers@BusickLacy
