Last Saturday, our Chinese school successfully held a cozy DIY tanghulu event 🍓🍡
Under the guidance of our instructors 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫, students learned to skewer fresh fruits and coat them with homemade sugar syrup, experiencing firsthand the joy of making this traditional Chinese treat ✨

Beyond learning related Chinese vocabulary 🀄📖, many students thoughtfully packaged their tanghulu as Christmas gifts 🎄🎁 to share this sweet cultural experience with friends.

The event ended with lots of laughter and smiles 😄💛, bringing together hands-on fun and a deeper appreciation for Chinese food culture 🍬🇨🇳

Katy Perry wasn’t the only one visiting Lingyin Temple!
Our Mandarin Mates students also experienced incense offering, blessings, and traditional temple food this summer.
Even better — Lingyin Temple becomes free in December 2025.

Last weekend, we visited Faxi Temple (法喜寺) in Hangzhou — a peaceful temple tucked away in the mountains and surrounded by bamboo forests. 🕊️

Our students had a wonderful time exploring the temple grounds, learning about Buddhist traditions, and soaking in the calm atmosphere. To finish the day, we enjoyed a bowl of local vegan noodles (素面) — simple, warm, and full of flavor — the perfect ending to our cultural adventure! 🍜✨

At Mandarin Mates, we believe that learning Chinese is more than just studying language — it’s about experiencing Chinese culture and connecting with local life in meaningful ways.

上周我们和同学们一起去到了杭州超治愈的法喜寺～🌿 爬山、听钟声、许愿、拍照📸，每一步都被秋天的温柔包围。 结束后还在寺庙附近吃了碗超好吃的素面🍜，清淡又暖心。

学习中文不仅是上课和背书，更是走进中国文化、体验生活的一部分。 在 Mandarin Mates，我们希望每一次学习都能像这样——有趣、真实、充满连接💫

And that's a win for team 🀄! Our school's Mahjong event this past Friday was a blast!

The room was filled with energy, the sound of clinking tiles, and lots of laughter. A massive thank you to all who participated and made it such a memorable evening. Whether you were a pro or learning for the first time, your enthusiasm was contagious!

These moments of connection are what make our school community so special. Can't wait for our next game night!

🌺✈️ To celebrate Teacher’s Day, the Mandarin Mates crew swapped the classroom for Bali! 🏝️ We dived into the ocean 🐠, devoured amazing food 🍜, and chased sunsets 🌅—because teachers deserve a little “study break” too 😉.

Sadly, not everyone could join this round, but don’t worry—we’re saving extra fun for the next trip! 🎉

Work hard, dive harder. 💦💛
Happy Teacher’s Day! 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫✨

🏫✨ Summer Camp Week 1 Highlights 🇨🇳
What an amazing start to our journey!

✈️ Arrival Day
Picked up the kids at the airport—their smiles said it all. Excitement, curiosity, and just a little jet lag!

🌿 West Lake Adventure
We strolled along the stunning West Lake and shared the legendary tale of the White Snake. Everyone was enchanted by the story—and the view!

🧋 First Bubble Tea Experience
"Are the pearls yummy or weird?" The debates were hilarious, but safe to say… everyone went back for seconds!

🛒 Supermarket Survival Challenge
They learned how to shop using mobile payments—QR codes mastered! Proud to see them adapting like locals.

🗺️ Digital Tools 101
From navigating with Gaode Map to exploring food spots on Dianping, our campers are already on their way to becoming China-savvy explorers.

This is just the beginning—can’t wait for next week’s adventures! ❤️

🌟 Unforgettable Cultural Exchange in Hangzhou! 🇨🇳✨

So honored to join Hangzhou International Communication Center’s amazing event with 10 first-time visitors to China—historians, filmmakers, influencers & more! Everyone was so curious and full of love for the culture. ❤️

Highlights:
🍄 Explored a super local market & learned why enoki mushrooms = “see you tomorrow” 😂
🔥 Tasted 55% gaoliang liquor (survival level: expert)
🍲 Made homemade hotpot + competitive mahjong sesh (they got too into it)
🌍 Ended with a feast mixing Hangzhou dishes + global flavors—food truly connects us all!

Shoutout to the organizers for creating such a genuine, fun cultural bridge. Hope we can do it again soon! 🙌
