With the help from senior students, foreign students were able to understand local culture and participate in activities better. Students team up to clean the beach as well as recycle the waste.

An old lady from the local community guided foreign students to make scented sachets that resemble clams. Xi Guan Jun (席冠軍), a student from Thailand who is studying in the Department of Materials and Energy at Mingdao University, said that he learned how to sew and felt the kindness of the old lady.
