As Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, we'd like to invite our teachers for an outing to an ancient town hidden in Shenzhen and explore a different part of the city.

经过长达3年的新冠抗战，进学TLD也在开放后第一次组织了线下的外教团建活动。深圳留存着广东特色文化之一客家文化。我们决定邀请所有在深圳的外教共同沉浸式体验深圳市龙岗区的客家风情小镇-甘坑古镇。

After three-year epidemic period, TLD organized an off-line team building activity for the first time with its foreign teachers. Hakka culture, one of the characteristic cultures of Guangdong, is reserved in Shenzhen. We decided to invite all foreign teachers in Shenzhen to experience the Hakka-style town, Gankeng Ancient Town, in Shenzhen Longgang District.

2023年6月10日中午12点，20位进学的中外员工齐聚于甘坑古镇南门，并共同前往甘坑古镇内的客家特色餐厅-凤凰客家餐厅。

At 12 noon on June 10, 20 Chinese and foreign employees gathered at the south gate of Gankeng Ancient Town, and went to Phoenix Hakka Restaurant, a Hakka specialty restaurant in Gankeng Ancient Town.

在品尝完美食后，我们集体出发游览甘坑古镇。在甘坑古镇中随处可见中国以及客家元素，建筑也带着浓厚的客家风格。

After tasting the perfect food, we set off to visit Gankeng Ancient Town. Chinese Hakka elements can be seen everywhere in Gankeng Ancient Town, and the architecture also has a strong Hakka style.

了解甘坑的历史文化，参观甘坑博物馆是个尤为重要的环节。甘坑博物馆是客家民俗文化馆。

To understand the history and culture of Gankeng, visiting the Gankeng Museum is a particularly important part. The Gankeng Museum is a Hakka folk culture museum.

经过一下午的甘坑小镇游览和美食体验，外籍教师们对中国文化特别是客家文化有了更深入的了解，也希望以后会有更多线下聚会、学习的机会。

After the tour of Gankeng town and food experience, foreign teachers have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, especially Hakka culture. We hope that there will be more opportunities for offline gatherings and learning in the future.
