Contestants attending the 12th Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students wrapped up their two-day Hunan culture tour on July 12, 2013. Though from different countries with different skin colors, they share the same love for Chinese language, and cherished and enjoyed their tour.

Yuelu Academy was their first stop. On the stone road, they carefully listened to the guide and showed great interest in the academy with a history of more than one thousand years. "It is quite mysterious, and its culture is very long," said Paul from Britain.

Later, they visited the Orange Isle and enjoyed the picturesque scenery. With the guide's description, they understood the background and artistic conception of "Qinyuanchun Changsha", a poem written by Chairman Mao Zedong. "The scenery here is very similar to my hometown--Seattle, known as the emerald city for its being surrounded by green mountains and clear water", said Juliet while watching the spring spray as high as over ten meters. Located within Changsha City, Orange Isle is acclaimed as "China's first isle".

After the tour, 90 non-promoted contestants would return to their country one after another.
