---From June 25 to 27, the participants
of 2005 NHRI International Water Science Summer Camp paid
a visit to HRC, spending three happy days in Hangzhou,
one of the most famous cities in China, which boosts a
long history and picturesque sceneries, and is always
compared to "A Paradise on Earth".
On the first day, taking a boat on the
West Lake, all the campers were fascinated by the pretty
sceneries; after dinner, rambling along the Qinghefang,
an ancient style street, which keeps intact in Hangzhou
and serves as an epitome of the long history of Hangzhou,
every one took great pleasure in shopping and concluded
with fruitful results. On the second day, after visiting
the Dayu Mausoleum in Shaoxing, and listening to the story
about Dayu, both the founder of Xia (C. 2100-1600 B.C),
the first Dynasty in China, and a great hero on flood
control, the campers got to know more about the long history
of water conservancy in China. Then, the on-site studies
have been undertaken in Tinghu SHP station with a rubber
dam, and Nanshan SHP station, a multi-function project
in Shenzhou. On the last day, the campers visited HRC
and its lab, being offered by HRC experts with the introduction
on HRC as well as the SHP development in China. All the
campers showed great interests, being enthusiastic in
asking questions one after another, all of which were
well answered by the experts. Before their leaving for
Shanghai, the happy campers were warmly embraced by the
famous silk market in Hangzhou.
At the time to say goodbye, a symphonic
voice echoed: Long life our friendship!(2005-06-29)
