Our Wild Wansui Mountain Adventure!

The whole video (uncut),our complete day at the wansui mountain will be at the end of this article.

Last Saturday was not your average weekend — it was an unforgettable rollercoaster of fun at Wansui Mountain Park! From the moment we arrived, we were swept up in a sea of excitement (and people — so many people!). But thanks to our amazing supervisor Amanda, who took care of us like a pro, we managed to catch a few fantastic shows amidst the crowd. Shoutout to her awesome assistants, Lemon and Gabi, who helped keep the chaos organized and the vibes high.

I ended up in Gabi’s group — she’s as sweet as her name sounds and probably got a little tired of us trailing behind her like ducklings all day. At one point, I even accidentally turned my solo explorer mode on and got completely lost for an hour. But hey, it turned into an unexpected mini adventure! I discovered some cool spots on my own and felt like a true adventurer.

The park itself? Huge! And as a foreigner, everything felt fresh and fascinating. Sure, I didn’t get to see every show, but honestly, that didn’t even matter — the best part was chatting with all the friendly Chinese visitors, especially the adorable kids who were super excited to talk with us and take pictures. I became a bit of a celebrity — especially among girls dressed in stunning hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing). They looked absolutely magical, and I couldn’t resist snapping a bunch of photos with them!

Our group was made up mostly of brand-new teachers from the university. I was the only “veteran” around, but trust me — I never get tired of these kinds of activities. Meeting people, enjoying the atmosphere, and soaking in the culture is my idea of a perfect day. The Chinese people are always so welcoming, polite, and curious about us — and I just love every conversation I get to have.

And if that wasn’t enough to make the day amazing, Amanda surprised us with a delicious dinner to wrap things up. We headed home with full hearts and even fuller bellies!

Most of the other teachers already sent their big thanks to Amanda in our activity WeChat group, but I was waiting until my video was ready to share. So now, in this post, I just want to say: Amanda, Lemon, and Gabi — THANK YOU! You three were absolute legends. You organized everything so smoothly, even doing the boring behind-the-scenes stuff like queuing for tickets and arranging appointments. None of that went unnoticed. You basically babysat us like champs — and we truly appreciate it.

Can’t wait for the next adventure!
