Dear Blog readers from all around the world 🌍<\/p>\n

Big, Bigger, Chongqing!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chongqing is the world\u2019s largest municipality, with a population of about 30 million people, is surely enough to make anyone sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n

Everything about Chongqing is hot and spicy: the weather, the people and most notably, the cuisine. The city of Chongqing is not a vast boundless plain, but rather a unique landscape set in mountains and rivers. You can see a light rail passing through a building, experiance a cable car ride across the Yangtze River, and watch a mystical mirage upon the mist and clouds. One thing is for sure, nothing is usual here.<\/p>\n

In the morning the delegation of the students had the opportunity to visit the Swiss China Center (SCC). SCC is a non-profit organization established in 2016 in Mainland
\nChina, Hong Kong, London, and Switzerland. It was founded by a diverse group of Swiss and Chinese entrepreneurs with the main objective of providing a dynamic platform for business and cultural exchange between the two countries. SCC can be seen as the gateway between China and Switzerland!<\/p>\n

After highly interesting presentations from both side, SCC and Mr. Braun (ZHAW), a lively discussion started. Topics like the trade war between China and US or the free trade agreement with Switzerland were on the list.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the mandatory photo session the time has come to say goodbye to SCC and Chongqing. Next destination ✈ Hong Kong!<\/p>\n

Arrived in Hong Kong we noticed the difference to “real” China heavily. Finally we were able to communicate with the people in English again. Ordering food in a restaurant was not a challenge anymore.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to our free day in Hong Kong tomorrow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
