Mongolia and China – Summer 2019

Here are a few photographs to give you a taste of this summer’s trip to Mongolia and China. The trip began with a day in Moscow, on the way to Mongolia’s capital city Ulaanbaatar. The 42 pupils and 5 teachers then had the fantastic opportunity to experience, first hand, the nomadic way of life in regions outside of the city, staying in a number of Ger camps. A highlight of the trip was the Nadaam festival, with its horse-racing, wrestling and archery. After 9 days in Mongolia, they travelled on the famous Siberian Express to see the sights of Beijing and to hike on the Great Wall of China. As well as having an enjoyable and exciting experience, the pupils learned a great deal about the intertwined history and culture of these two fascinating countries.
