In the second half of September, 23 students, 7 research associates, and Professors Schneider (Department of Structural Analysis), Knaack (Department of Facade Technology), and Lange visited the “Middle Kingdom.” The trip began in the capital, Beijing. In addition to visiting cultural landmarks such as the Forbidden City, participants had the opportunity to explore ongoing high-rise construction projects up close. A highlight was the visit to North-Glass, which, along with just one other company, leads the world in the production of specialty facade glass.

After visiting China's largest steel bridge construction company and touring the “Dragon’s Head,” the easternmost part of the Great Wall, the group spent two days in the Zhangjiajie National Park. The glass bridge and breathtaking landscape were among the highlights of the entire excursion. Workshops at Central South University in Changsha and Tongji University in Shanghai provided an opportunity to learn about the universities' didactic concepts and current research. The students' discussions about daily life in their studies were a great success, as they not only exchanged academic content but also shared everyday and cultural experiences. The visit to the 26-million-strong metropolis of Shanghai was the crowning conclusion of the educational journey. Among other places, the group visited the Urban Planning Museum, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and various historical landmarks of the city.
