Recently, the Wanheting Tea House by the Baotu Spring in Jinan welcomed a study group from the Kristin School in Brisbane, Australia. Unlike conventional business practices, Jinan Cultural Tourism Group's Tourism Development Company actively broadened its channels by collaborating with Global Home Creative Education Consulting Co., Ltd., ushering in the first batch of overseas study groups. Through preliminary communication to understand the student’s needs, they customized high-quality study routes with distinctive Jinan features, developing a series of spring water study courses and activities based on the advantageous location of the Wanheting Tea House by the Baotu Spring, creating a spring water study base centered around it.

The tea house prepared traditional folk cultural experience projects for the study group, immersing children in the joy of hands-on craftsmanship and experiencing the charm of Chinese traditional culture. Subsequently, guided by the staff, the study group engaged in poetry activities with the tea house staff, showcasing the mutual appreciation and respect for each other's cultures by young people from both countries.

The study group also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese tea culture during the tea tasting. As they gently held up the tea cups, savoring the sweetness and aftertaste of the tea, they seemed to be appreciating the profound cultural heritage of China. At the same time, they shared the cultural characteristics of their own country, enriching the exchange with diverse colors.

This event deepened the friendship and understanding between young people from China and Australia, promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in the fields of culture and education.

The Wanheting Tea House's creation of study exchange activities is not only an essential part of cultural exchange activities between Shandong and Australia, but also a bridge for spiritual communication between young people from both countries. The company will explore new operational strategies, innovate business marketing models, deeply integrate with study institutions, innovate the cultural tourism + project model, and empower "cultural tourism + education" bi-directionally.
