For students majoring in Vietnamese Studies, practical training is one of the most important activities. Beyond simply observing or visiting, field trips allow students to directly access cultural spaces, historical sites, and vivid materials outside the classroom. Through these experiences, students have the opportunity to connect theoretical knowledge with practice, hone their research skills, and develop their ability to observe, analyze, and evaluate socio-cultural phenomena within a specific context.
Guilin is one of China's most famous destinations, known for its spectacular natural landscapes and rich history and culture. Not only is it renowned for the picturesque Li River and its majestic limestone mountains, but it also preserves many historical traces of the exchange between Vietnam and China. This makes Guilin an ideal destination for Vietnamese studies, research, and experiential learning for students majoring in Vietnamese studies.

"Following the Li River" is an opportunity for Vietnamese students to broaden their practical learning environment and interact with international friends.
As part of the program, the student group will visit and learn about historical sites associated with President Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary activities in China. A notable destination is the Eighth Route Army Office in Guilin – a place linked to revolutionary activities during the 1938-1940 period, now preserved as an important historical site, holding many valuable documents and artifacts.
In addition, students will also learn about the remnants of the educational system for Vietnamese students in Guangxi during the 1950s. With the support of the Chinese government and people, many training facilities were established to train Vietnamese cadres and students to serve the resistance war and national reconstruction. Today, many of these sites, belonging to Guangxi Normal University, still preserve valuable documents and artifacts, becoming evidence of the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and China.

The delegation arrived at Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (Guilin, Guangxi, China).
The "Following the Li River" practical internship program is one of the meaningful learning activities, demonstrating the training orientation of the Vietnamese Studies major, Faculty of Linguistics and Vietnamese Studies, which connects theory with practice. We believe that this journey will provide the members of the delegation with much useful knowledge, memorable experiences, and new perspectives on the history, culture, and long-standing relationship between Vietnam and China.
