Had a whole day to ourselves today! Our lecturers actually cancelled all our classes today so we could have some interaction activities with the China students here. We went to a tangerine farm to actually see the farms in the rural area of China and also to taste their tangerines! Went off to the farm in the noon at about 1.30pm, thankfully the weather for today was cooling if not we will all just die of the hotness out in the open.
On our way into the farm!
Look at the fresh (but not very ripe) orange!
Took me a long time to take this photo!Had some tangerines freshly plucked from the tress, most of those that i ate were all not really ripe yet. Most of them were still quite sour but with a occasional few that were sweet. We saw this river by the side of the farm and we actually saw a few clams there!
Look at the size of the clam!
Look at size of the flesh!
Jump shot of group 4!
Went back to campus to have a small rest before we made our way to the BBQ pits for our BBQ at night. When we got there we were quite surprise to see that their pits were really different from what we see in Singapore. It resemble those campfire style BBQ whereby all of us will sit around the pit and start cooking our food. They also did not have fire starters so we had to use dry leaves and twigs to start the fire, time to test our jungle survival skills!
The bottles here are actually 2.5 litres each!
Our 2 small pits for the night
All seating around the pits.
Cooking time!

Although I did went for farm visits before back in Singapore, I can see that the farms here are really different from the ones you see back in Singapore. The facilities here are really very bad as compared to those in Singapore, but they can actually maintain the farm so well. This is not something that can be done easily as lots of hard work have to be put in.
