The Chengdu Waldorf has been a part of the Waldorf world community. It is very interested to see as the first Waldorf School in China. Plus, Chengdu is a city when you come you don’t want to leave. There are many good place to visit and many things to see. It is the home of giant panda and the gate way to Tibet.

Many friends are very exciting when they discover us in the Internet. Some of them would like to visit us in the future. Some of them are on their way to China. We have received many visitors from all over the world since the school established in 2004. Our friends want know what we are doing and how we are doing.

We have host many visitors from abroad. Many tourists are waldorf school teachers, kindergarten teachers or parents of waldorf schools, and there were anthroposophical works related  friends.  When they planed to travel in China, they tried to make a stop in Chengdu or skipped the group and made a day visit us if they traveled in the tour group.A typical tourist will contact us by emailwaldorfcd@gmail.com

An individual visitor usually  takes 2 hours up to a full day. It depends on how our day goes on that day. 

 

A group visitor is special arranged each time. Our teachers and coworkers worked very hard to make sure that tour visitors would have a fruitful visiting. There was a group of 43 high school from Australia. Here was what we did with them.

We showed them the college museum and had lunch in the college canteen with students, visited public high school and had lunch with same age students. They visited the art gallery and listened to the old Chinese painters talk about Chinese art. They went to the French Supper market Carrifford and local traditional bazaar to experience the real life of Chengdu. They also visit a national museum that was built on the excavated site.

The museum displays much early and advance civilization than those in Yellow river cradles, yet, there is no connection to the evolution of the Chinese civilization in the recorded history. It left a myth to the archeologists and historians. There is a golden seal of the Sunbird is found in the site. The Seal has become the new logo of civilization in Chengdu. There is locally produced Broadway style show reviewing a heart broken love story according to the legend of the Sunbird in the local history. The Sunbird had human spirit and a bird physical body. Our Australian guests couldn’t believe their eyes that they saw the Broadway style show in Chengdu instead of in New York. The show has been a glimpse of the modern China.
