Summer holiday is the peak season for Guangzhou's migrant workers to pick up their children from their hometowns and reunite here in Guangzhou. To enrich the cultural life of these children during the summer holiday, the Migrant Service Demonstration Center of Tianhe District (hereinafter referred to as the "Demonstration Center") joined hands with Guangdong Museum, Liwan Museum, Guangdong Folk Arts Museum and Guangzhou Metro Museum, to carry out a series of study tour activities themed on the cultural experience as part of the summer camp event.
First stop: Natural Resources Exhibition of Guangdong Province
Dinosaurs: The rise of the prehistoric beasts
In the exhibition hall, children let out shouts of surprise at the first sight of the dinosaur fossils and specimens in vivid forms and various shapes. Accompanied by their parents, the children managed to complete the topic task "Weapons of Dragon Warriors", and listened to the history of the earth and prehistoric lives narrated by the docents. Guided by the staff, they also got their hands on the dinosaur fossil simulation models such as dinosaur eggs and teeth.
Second stop: Liwan Museum
Guangzhou's business history & Xiguan's folk culture
Led by the social workers of the Demonstration Center, the families came to the Liwan Museum, where they walked through the exquisite and elegant western-style buildings and the quaint and solemn Xiguan mansions, experiencing the Xiguan flavor amid the historical buildings with both the Chinese and western characteristics. Exhibits in the museum, such as the commodity models in the period of the Republic of China, replicates of the counters in modern times, and a dazzling array of modern commercial posters on the wall, all allow the families to learn about the modern business history of Guangzhou through immersive observation.
Third stop: Guangzhou Metro Museum
Travel along the subway track
The third stop for the migrant families was Guangzhou Metro Museum. Guided by the docents, they visited the ten stations in the Museum in an orderly manner. The subway signs of cities worldwide displayed at the World Metro Expo, the model engine cabin of the shield machine at the Crossing Station, and the subway knowledge-related games at the Amusement Station, have all made their study tour much more interesting.
Fourth stop: Chen Clan Academy (Guangdong Folk Arts Museum)
Splendid traditional architectural culture of Lingnan
Starting from the gate of Chen Clan Academy, the docents led the families on a journey of architectural appreciation. As they walked through the corridors and the courtyards, the exquisite sculptures carved on the roofs and pillars of Chen Clan Academy were unfolded before their eyes.
Fifth stop: Bronze Mirror Exhibition at Guangdong Museum
The charm of the mirror and thousand years of history
In Guangdong Museum, with "Bronze Mirror Culture" as the theme, the migrant families "traveled" through 18 dynasties in Chinese history to explore the evolution and culture of the bronze mirror, one of the daily necessities of our ancestors. By visiting the "Charm of the Mirror" bronze mirror exhibition, the children learned about the beautiful meanings behind the decorations on the mirrors, and the history and culture of a certain dynasty embodied in them. Besides watching the process of decoration rubbing, interactive activities such as mirror stamping were also available for the families to experience.
