In the afternoon of May 28th, the students of the Sino-German College of Exhibition and Convention went to Hangzhou to participate in the 3rd China International Tea Expo, and I have to say that it was a novel and interesting tour experience!
The exhibition is divided into 7 exhibition halls, 70,000 square meters of exhibition space, 3,139 booths, more than 1,500 companies, and a variety of exciting activities.
Before the official visit, a professional teacher gave an explanation to facilitate the students to understand more about the exhibition, the school through this walking classroom to give students a deep memory point, laying the foundation for the subsequent professional learning, in the process, the teacher mentioned the importance of this tea fair unfolded, and the difficulties faced at the beginning, including many knowledge about the operation, such as after bidding to This included a lot of knowledge about the operation, such as the bidding process to decide the company to be contracted and to make the most reasonable choice by taking into account the advantages and disadvantages. The second is about the design of the venue, the exhibition area is divided according to private and provincial areas, and the location of the exhibition is decided by economic or governmental lottery.
The process of viewing the exhibition is always full of freshness, and this walking course closely integrated together, into the exhibition area can see the field clearly zoned, different regions different varieties of tea in order. Sitting in front of the bamboo chairs, the staff will explain while brewing good tea, watching the tea gradually in the water from curled to stretch, the color of the tea soup gradually rich, the entrance is or light or rich tea fragrance.
In addition to a wide variety of teas, coffee and cocoa are also part of the exhibition, and there are beautiful handicrafts to choose from, such as Japanese tea sets, various types of ceramics, crystal jewelry, etc.
What the students think
I learned a lot through this exhibition. The format of learning while traveling is very new to us, and I have gained a lot through this journey. For example, how to distinguish raw tea from ripe tea, or the influence of the fermentation process of tea leaves on the taste. But most importantly, this China International Tea Expo gave our students the opportunity to learn more about the profession. I can say that it was very rewarding.
--Convention Economics and Management Class 182 IzuOn the day of May 18, we organized the students of our exhibition class to visit the 3rd China International Tea Expo together in Hangzhou to experience the tea culture of China. I followed the students to learn more about various kinds of famous Chinese teas and the Zen tea culture. The tea master also patiently explained the history, tea nature and efficacy of various kinds of teas, and brewed a pot of good tea and invited us to taste tea together. Chinese tea culture has a long and profound history. Participating in such activities not only made us gain knowledge, but also opened our eyes.
--Dong Kai, Class 182, Exhibition Economics and ManagementAs students of the exhibition class, the focus of what we want to learn lies in the overall layout of an exhibition. A good overall layout makes exhibitors get a better display, and also makes visitors have a clearer understanding of the content, merchants and pointers of the exhibition. The overall layout of the exhibition, one of the key points lies in the harmony of tones, the main tone of this tea fair exhibition is gray and green, exhibitors can add some personality according to the characteristics of their goods but not abrupt colors, making the whole exhibition looks quite harmonious. The preparation time of a large exhibition takes almost half a year, and as a major in exhibition economics and management, we can better appreciate the difficulty of the overall statistics and layout. This practical activity has given us a general understanding of the importance of the overall layout view, and also made us have a clearer understanding of our future career, which is a very meaningful activity.
--Ziqing Wang, Class 181, Exhibition Economics and ManagementThe school organized a visit to the 3rd China International Tea Expo held in Hangzhou last Saturday so that the students learned some knowledge about exhibition and tea related knowledge. The organizers of this year's tea fair also combined the experience of the previous two tea fairs and added several new bus routes specifically for this tea fair. At the beginning I thought the Tea Expo exhibitors only tea products, but really strolling exhibition only to find that there are many booths on display and sales is not tea, but tea-related goods, such as tea sets, tea-related magazines and so on. There was also a small room on the 3rd floor, a place called Teajoy App for live streaming. There were also tea packaging machines, paper boxes, iron boxes, packaging design and other companies related to the production of tea exhibiting in some areas on the first floor of the exhibition. This made me realize that the industry related to the product also plays a very important role in the process from the production to the sale of the product.
