It was a hot April Sunday morning that we eventually went to school full of bags, art materials and a hat for the sun... The reason? We were taking part in the Art classes trip to Huangshan, and we, the two "laowai" in grade two, went to Hongcun with our classmates. It seemed a great adventure for us to go on a school trip, because as our classmates study a lot, we don't often have the oportunity to spend time with them while they are not at school. We stayed 10 students per room. Eat together, go out together, draw together and have fun together. It was pretty interesting to see and live from another perspective this part of the chinese culture. We get to know more some of our schoolmates and got to be more included in our class. Hongcun is a relly beautiful place. The architecture is very unique and the view was proper to take many picture of it, and off couse, to draw it too. Now we have some great souvenirs from China for our families; our paiting of the ancient village. Everyday we had a drawing routine, and after finishing it, it came the wanted spare time with our mates. Eventhough we had to paint and draw everyday as a duty, it was fun. It is completely different to do it outdoors with a beautiful scenery; totally relaxing and enjoyable. Despite the fact that this place is a touristic attraction we where a different touristic atraction there too! Many people came to see and comment the "xiesheng"'s works, and eventualy find out a foreigner there made it a plus for them in their tour. The six days passed very fast, we wished more days. Were amazing days, definitely, we want to repeat the experience. 

四月的周日，阳光温暖的清晨，满怀期盼，我们终于踏上了写生之旅。大巴塞满了行李箱、写生用品，还有我们必备的遮阳帽。作为高二年级的两个“老外”，我们与同班同学参加了美术班的宏村之旅。对我们来说，参加学校之旅似乎是场冒险的的旅行。因为同学能学到很多，他们不在学校，我们并没有太多的时间与机会与他们相处。我们十人一间房，一起吃饭，一起外出，一起绘画，一起玩耍。我们能从另一角度观察体验中国文化，颇感乐趣重生。每天，我们惯常安排绘画，结束后是我们期盼的业余时间，我们与同伴一起度过。即使每天的绘画是种任务，但极具乐趣。宏村景色美不胜收，令人心旷神怡。皖南徽派建筑也极具特色，美景宜人，适合拍照，当然也适于绘画。 我们现在已有不少中国纪念品送给我们的家人，那就是我们的古村绘画作品。置身于户外美景中作画， 令人身心放松，心情愉悦，的确与众不同。宏村是个旅游胜地，众多人们前来观看评论我们的写生作品；他们在学生群中发现我们两个“老外”，倍感吃惊，这也为他们的旅行增添了一笔色彩。六日之旅转眼即逝，多么渴望多呆几日。 这美好六日之旅令人难忘，我们希望能再次体验此种旅行。（ 译：王丽媛）
