About Malaysia：
Malaysia is blessed with magnificent natural landscapes, including coconut and forest-covered beaches, spectacular mountain ranges, rich rainforests and breathtaking coral reefs. Among them, the rainforest coverage is the highest in the world and is listed as a World Natural Heritage Site. The students also experienced the local economic development and social culture of Penang during the study tour. Penang's economy is based on trade, industry, tourism and agriculture, and is known globally as the "electronics manufacturing base". Penang is known for its multiculturalism and harmonious development, the "Emerald of the Indian Ocean" and the "Gourmet Paradise", and is one of the most picturesque cities in the East. Students explored the local cuisine, got close to nature and experienced the beauty of the coastal city. As travelers from afar, they were treated warmly by local residents in many places.
There was once such a saying: either reading or traveling, soul and body, there is always one to be on the road. But as a new youth in the 21st century, we don't choose, we want both. This is about one of the reasons why students go on study tours during the summer and winter vacations. After all, if you don't get out and about, it would be easy to think that this is the world. In the future, when students recall this moment, the beauty of the past will still be vivid in their minds. So, let's say "All the best for the future" at this time when the wind is light, the clouds are clean, and the birds and flowers are fragrant!
