The 44 American students joined 10 students from Peking University on a tour of Sichuan, where they visited a high school, a panda conservation center, and the Sichuan Cuisine Museum. Along the way, they learned about Sichuan's achievements in building the Tianfu Granary, traffic management and the face-changing art of Sichuan Opera. They also stopped by a tea house in the People's Park in Chengdu's city center.
