我与中国的故事——援外培训学员讲中国（二）
My stories with China.
Introduction
Last June I was participated to Seminar on Forestry Project Development for the Belt and Road Initiative Countries which was conducted by National Academy of Forestry and Grassland Administration (NAFGA) with the fully sponsorship of MOFCOM, China.
This was my 3rd visit to China and I was first time visited year 2012, Xining city at Qinghai Province, to participate “Seminar on the Management and Protection of Natural reserve for Developing Countries” from 7th August to 3rd September 2012 and 2nd visit to China in the year 2017. This was my first visit to STAFA later it was renamed as NAFGA. That was really interesting and I feel like I was in my home country. During that period they STAFA staff treated us like a brothers and sisters. Also we learnt a lot from STAFA about nature conservation and protected area management.
My 3rd and last visit to NAFGA was this year 31st of May and I spend in China till 22nd of June and it was really exciting and unforgettable moment. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the NAFGA staff with the extraordinary leadership of Mr Bian Mingming and Mr Zhang Xiang. They were well prepared and their countless efforts are really unexplainable to the success of NAFGA seminar not only this seminar but also other online seminars which were conducted since the year 2021.
Important and aim of Seminar
The seminar aimed to promote cooperation between China and Sri Lanka in the field of forestry and grassland management, as well as to share China’s experience in forestry project development with Sri Lanka.The seminar also aimed to explore opportunities for cooperation between China and Sri Lanka under the Belt and Road Initiative. Not only Sri Lanka have I known that China cooperate with many other countries in the same manner.
The seminar could have helped Sri Lanka gain knowledge on China’s experience in forestry project development, which could be useful for Sri Lanka’s own forestry projects.The seminar could also have provided a platform for communication and exchange of experience between China and Sri Lanka in the field of forestry and grassland management as well as it gives a chance to cooperate with other countries who participate for the seminar.
Not only this seminar the other NAFGA seminars aimed to share best practices among participating countries and sustainable forest management and environment restoration, and establish a platform to promote communications and exchange of experience in implementing many precise imperative modern technologies in the case of environment protection and sustainable forest management. Sri Lankan participants received many benefit from this seminar by gaining knowledge on the progress of international forest arrangements, global forest financing opportunities, and best practices in implementing UNFI, UNSPF, and sustainable forest management.The seminar also helps Sri Lanka to establish a platform for communication and exchange of experience in implementing UNSPF, UNFI, and sustainable forest management with other participating countries.
China achievements and the Developments
When we are in China we understood the China development. It is so high economic growth and the overall development in many more fields. We were wonder why still China consider as developing country? Really I believe that China is now developed country. We wish it!
Environment and Forestry Conservation of China.
When Consider about China forest cover when I was in China year 2017 the forest cover is less than 23% and at present (2023) it is 23.7%. This is categorically a great effort of China. Not only has that in case of species conservation china showed big progress. As an example, the Giant Panda conservation effort of China is remarkable. The Chinese government has declared 33 giant panda reserves, and more than 50% of their natural habitat is now protected by law. The giant panda is a beloved animal that has been the focus of conservation efforts in China for many years.The Chinese government has taken several measures to protect the species, including setting up panda reserves, relocating residents from panda habitats, training local people to be rangers, and breeding pandas in captivity. These efforts have been successful, and the giant panda is no longer considered an endangered species. One of the key factors in the success of these conservation efforts has been the restoration of bamboo forests, which make up 99% of a panda’s diet. The Chinese government has been working to recreate and repopulate bamboo forests to provide food and habitat for the Giant Pandas.
Chines Culture and Wu Shu
Also I felt with Chines Martial art, “Wushu”! It is my long time dreams to go and see how Chines Wushu practice in China and visit the “Shaoling” temple and also get the knowledge about its history and present practices. During this visit I had that opportunity and I could able to achieve my long term thoughts.
Also the Shaoling temple world heritage site area is really amazing and wonderful. Mount Songshang, located at the foot of a 1500-meter high mountain near the city of Dengfeng in Henan province, is considered to be the central sacred mountain of China. Spread over a 40 square-kilometer circle, eight clusters of buildings and sites, including three Han Que gates - remains of the oldest religious edifices in China -, temples, the Zhougong Sundial Platform and the Dengfeng Observatory, are situated here.These buildings were constructed over the course of nine dynasties and reflect different ways of perceiving the centre of heaven and earth and the power of the mountain as a centre for religious devotion.
I really wonder with this trip and I was really pleased to be in Shaoling temple and Henan province.
Interpretations and other facilities
Throughout the course NAFGA staff get really involve in translation and interpretation wherever it is needed and want. This was done superficially and no one felt badly due to their remarkable translation and interpretation.
Conclusion
China is a vast and diverse country with a rich history, culture, and natural beauty. There are many ways to experience the country, depending on our interests and preferences. These are just a few examples of the many incredible sights and experiences that can be get visited by China. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, nature, or adventure, there’s something for everyone in this amazing country! In deed this was my great event in my life.The seminar was held in a face to face after the COVID 19 pandemic, with participants from eleven countries.
The seminar was provided an excellent opportunity for participants to learn about the latest trends and developments in forestry project development, as well as to network with other professionals in the field.
Finally I would like to thanks for the NAFGA and the friendly staff of NAFGA who have help and facilitate us in many ways.

我的中国故事
今年6月，我参加了由中国商务部主办、国家林业和草原局管理干部学院承办的“一带一路”国家林业项目官员研修班。
这是我第三次访问中国，第一次是2012年8月7日至9月3日，在青海省西宁市参加发展中国家自然保护区管理与保护研修班；第二次是2017年，那是我第一次访问国家林业局管理干部学院（以下简称林干院）。我的旅程非常愉快，就好像在自己的祖国观光。游历期间，林干院的工作人员待我们如同兄弟姐妹一般。此外，我们还从林干院学到了许多有关自然保护和保护区管理的知识。
今年5月31日是我第三次也是最近一次访问林干院，我在中国一直待到6月22日。在这里，我要衷心感谢林干院的全体职工朋友，感谢边明明和张翔先生的指导。为了这次林干院研修班（以及自2021年以来的其他线上研修班）的成功开展，他们做了充分准备，付出了诸多努力，寥寥数语无法总结他们的付出。
这次研修班旨在促进中国-斯里兰卡在林草管理领域的合作，并向斯里兰卡分享中国在林业项目开发领域的经验。研修班还探讨了中斯两国在“一带一路”倡议下的合作机遇。据我所知，除了斯里兰卡，中国还同许多国家建立了这样的合作。研修班是一个平台，便于中斯两国在林草管理领域的沟通与经验交流，同时也便于同第三国建立合作关系。
除了这次研修班以外，林干院组织的其他研修班也旨在将可持续森林经营与环境恢复方面的知识分享给各个参与国，同时为大家搭建一个促进沟通的平台，分享经验。
斯里兰卡的参与者在这次研修班中收获颇丰，大家了解到了国际森林安排（IAF）的进展情况、全球森林融资促进网络（GFFFN），以及实施UNFI、UNSPF和可持续森林经营的最佳方案。
我2017年来到中国时，其森林覆盖率还不到23%，而今年（2023年）已经达到了24.02%！这无疑是中国的巨大成果。此外，在物种保护方面中国也取得了很大的进步。一个典型案例就是中国对大熊猫的保护。多年以来，这种讨人喜爱的动物一直是中国自然保护工作的重点。为了保护这一物种，中国政府采取了多种措施：建立大熊猫保护区、迁徙保护区内的居民、培训当地居民成为护林员，或从事大熊猫的人工繁育工作。这些努力见到了成果，大熊猫的名字从濒危物种名单上去掉了。以上这些保护工作取得成果的一个关键因素，就在于竹林的恢复，因为大熊猫的食谱中99%都是竹子。中国政府始终致力于竹林的恢复，为大熊猫提供食物和栖息地。
除此之外，我对中国的武术也很感兴趣。我一直梦想着到中国看一看武术是怎么练出来的，逛一逛少林寺，了解它的历史和现在的练武方式。这次的行程终于如愿以偿，得以到少林寺一睹为快。另外，少林寺景区作为世界文化遗产，景色之秀丽令人赞叹。嵩山位于河南省登封市附近，海拔 1500 米，被视为中国的“中岳”神山。在方圆40公里的范围内，有8组建筑和遗址，包括三座汉阙（中国最古老的宗教建筑遗迹）、寺庙、周公日晷以及登封观星台。这些建筑历时9个朝代，反映出人们对天地中心的认知。
中国幅员辽阔，丰富多元，有着浓厚的历史文化底蕴和秀丽的自然景观。我们可以用各种各样的方式体验这个国家。随着新冠病毒的消失，研修班也终于能开始线下活动，为大家提供了一个能够了解林业项目开发前沿信息、与同领域专家接触的绝佳机会。
最后，我要感谢林干院，还有和蔼可亲的各位朋友们，谢谢大家在各方面为我们提供的帮助。

CHINA’S COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs); A HOLISTIC APPROACH THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMS BEYOND BOARDERS
The world today has a greater commitment to conserve and restore degraded natural resources for social, economic and environmental benefit. According to IUCN, under the Bonn challenge agreement, in 2011the world made ambitious target to restore about 350million hectares of degraded Landscapes worldwide by 2030. However, there has been a great challenge to achieve this international restoration agenda. The challenge has been attributed to several hindering factors which includes: inadequate financial resources, lack of human capacity, weak policies to guide sustainable natural resource management. Nevertheless, some countries in the world, such as China are taking a bold step to restore and conserve natural resources, in order to mitigate impacts of climate change while also achieving international development agenda such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially goal #, 13 Climate action and Goal #, 14 Life on Land. As such it is from this background that China has committed its resources to build the capacity of developing countries in sustainable management of natural resources, with vivid examples of the current environmental management projects implemented by Chinese Government.
I had opportunity to visit China twice in the year 2018 and 2023 to attend short term trainings organized by National Academy of Forestry and Grassland Administration (NAFGA). I personally witnessed a couple of Chinese environmental management projects which includes; Land reclamation, tree planting for carbon markets, wetland management and urban green space construction. Chinese government has even extended its commitment in environmental management by building capacity and supporting restoration projects in developing countries so as to mitigate effects of climate change and improve the livelihoods of natural resources dependent communities. In the year 2018, I attended a training workshop on Forestry Tackling Climate Change for Officials from Belt and Road Initiative Countries and in 2023 I also attended a training workshop on Eco-city construction. These face to face trainings as well as online trainings organized by NAFGA, gave me an opportunity as a participant to learn how China is committed in achieving international policy agenda, which includes United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification(UNCCD), United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC), Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), Convention on Conservation of Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Bonn Challenge, just to mention a few of the international agreements on Environmental Management.
My first visit to china in 2018, I visited a paper factory which utilizes bamboo as raw material. This is a greater innovation by China, as most countries uses trees to produce paper. The world today is faced by high rate of deforestation due to increased demand of wood derived products. The use of bamboo in China has saved Forests from being degraded as bamboos are fast growing species as compared to trees, as such they are able to meet demand for raw materials in industrial sector. After attending my first seminar I gained some knowledge that Africa can also do better to conserve its dwindling forest resources through establishment of bamboo plantations. The case of Malawi my country of origin, almost 96% of the population uses fuel wood and Charcoal for cooking and heating, this has led to severe loss forest cover. However if we are to adopt growing of bamboo by small scale farmers. Bamboo would meet the demand for fuel wood and save our forests. Therefore the trainings organized by NAFGA have got a big impact to developing nations as knowledge is being shared to facilitate sustainable management of natural resources in other parts of developing countries.
Different Sites visited to appreciate conservation projects, which includes a Botanical Gardern, a Green House and City tree Nursery
My second training in China was on Eco-city construction, the training made me really to appreciate that China is a champion of Sustainable Development Goals in the world. The concept of eco-civilization states that urbanization should not compromise nature. Human beings are supposed to live in harmony with nature. This is also in line with President Xi Jinping thought on Eco-civilization at Cop 14 in 2022. China policies on Environment is the world best example to recognize human and nature relationship. China has taken a holistic approach to ensure that urbanization does not compromise nature. As such china has already rolled out Eco-city projects in several provinces to ensure that human beings and nature live in harmony. Eco city construction training was quite relevant to my country developmental Agenda, which is Malawi vision 2063. Malawi’s strategic policy is to build sustainable cities that will balance human needs and sustainable management of environmental resources. Malawi as a country is also a party to a number of international agreements, such as UNFCC, UNCD, CBD, SDGs and the Bonn challenge. The knowledge I gained in China will assist to facilitate our country’s strategic agenda, to build sustainable cities, so as to address environmental challenges in urban settings, such as pollution, urban flooding and reduce impact of urban heat waves.
Class presentation on Urban Green Space Construction and President Xi Jinping thought on Eco-Civilization at COP 14, 2022.
China face to face trainings has also broaden my knowledge, to learn different cultural aspect of Chinese people. The training integrated field visits to appreciate how China has developed their culture and mainstreamed in the country’s economic agenda through tourism. Environmental management recognizes the social benefits of conserving natural resources, whereby culture is also a tool for sustainable management of the environment. This is another great initiative that can be well adopted and replicated in developing countries. The cultural visits also created a conducive environment to interact with local people, and share their experiences with each other. This made me to appreciate that Chinese people are most caring and loving people who always treat visitors with due respect regardless of their race.
The Great wall, a historical site and also provides beautiful scenery of Natural Regenerating Vegetation in the hilly Landscapes
Trainings organized by NAFGA have also a significant impact on developing countries. These trainings also provide a platform whereby knowledge is being shared among participants through interaction and sharing of our country reports. Through international trainings, it creates a conducive environment to understand how other developing countries are implementing various environmental management programs to meet international agenda. It also gives an insight to learn the effort of China in facilitating development in developing countries.

中国的可持续发展目标承诺
采用保护自然资源、恢复退化自然资源的方法造福社会、经济和环境，在当今的国际社会上，这种承诺层出不穷。据世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）和《波恩挑战》协议，2011年全球范围内将有5.3亿公顷的退化土地得到恢复。一些国家为实现可持续发展目标等国际发展议程开始采取大胆的举措，中国就是其中的代表。在这样的背景下，中国承诺为其他发展中国家自然资源可持续管理能力建设提供资源，中国政府正在实施的发展中国家能力建设项目就是其中生动案例。
2018年和2023年，我有机会两次到访中国，参加国家林业和草原局管理干部学院（以下简称林干院）组织的短期培训。我亲眼目睹了中国的几个环境治理项目，包括土地开发、植树造林、碳汇市场、湿地管理，以及城市绿地建设。2018年，我参加了面向“一带一路”国家官员的林业应对气候变化研修班；2023年，我参加了生态城市建设研修班。这两次线下培训以及由林干院组织的线上培训，让我有机会了解中国在实现多个国际议程做的努力，包括《联合国防治荒漠化公约（UNCCD）》、《联合国气候变化框架公约（UNFCCC）》、可持续发展目标（SDGs）、《保护生物多样性公约（CBD）》和《波恩挑战（Bonn Challenge）》等。
2018年，我第一次到访中国，参观了一家用竹子作原料的造纸厂。这是中国的一项创新举措，因为大多数国家选用木材作为造纸原料。由于对木材衍生产品需求的增加，当今世界面临着森林过度采伐的问题。中国对竹子的应用避免了森林退化，因为相比树木，竹子生长较快，能满足工业生产对原材料的需求。在参加了第一次研修班之后，我了解到非洲也可以采用竹子种植园来保护日益退化的森林资源。以我的祖国马拉维为例，我国近96%的人口使用木柴和木炭做饭取暖，造成森林覆盖率严重下降。然而，如果我们采用小农种植竹子的模式，就能用竹子满足对薪柴的需求，进而拯救我们的森林。因此，中国林干院组织的培训对我们发展中国家产生的影响是深远的，知识的共享促进了发展中国家部分地区自然资源的可持续管理。
我在中国接受的第二次培训的主题是生态城市建设，这次培训让我切实体会到中国是全球可持续发展目标的先驱。生态文明的概念指出，城市化不应以自然为代价，人类应该与自然和谐共生。中国的环境政策是全球认识人与自然关系的最佳范本。通过全面性的方法，保证城市化不对自然造成损害。
因此，为保证人与自然和谐共生，中国已经在多个省份开展了生态城市项目。生态城市建设培训与我国的发展议程（马拉维 2063 愿景）密切相关。马拉维的战略政策旨在建设可持续城市，平衡人类需求和环境资源的可持续管理。作为一个国家，马拉维也是多项国际协定的缔约国，如《联合国气候变化框架公约》《联合国防治荒漠化公约》《生物多样性公约》《可持续发展目标》和《波恩挑战》。我在中国学到的知识将有助于推动我国建设可持续城市的战略议程，从而应对城市中的环境挑战，如污染、城市内涝等，以及减少城市热岛效应的影响。
林干院组织的培训对发展中国家产生了深远影响。培训提供的平台方便大家进行互动、分享各自国家的报告，实现知识的共享，同时，也帮我们了解到中国在促进他国发展方面做出的努力。

Nurturing Conservation: My Journey through China's Heritage and Hope
By Justin Saidi
Introduction
China, a vast canvas of history, culture, and biodiversity, called me to embark on a journey of exploration and enlightenment. My quest led me to a remarkable seminar on import and export management and the protection of endangered species in developing countries. As I delved into the world of endangered species protection and management, my adventure took me to a series of captivating destinations that showcased China's dedication to preserving its natural and cultural treasures. The story will take you through some of the places I visited.
Green Wisdom - Botanic Garden
The seminar brought me to a botanic garden in Beijing, a celebration of China's rich biodiversity and dedication to environmental conservation. Here, I wandered among a breathtaking array of plant species, each contributing to the world's ecological tapestry.
Exploring the garden's diverse ecosystems, I marveled at the intricate relationships between flora and fauna. It was a living testament to the importance of preserving the planet's biodiversity.
Guardians of History - The Great Wall
No journey through China would be complete without a visit to the Great Wall. My path led to the awe-inspiring Mutianyu section, where ancient stones bore witness to centuries of human endeavor. Ascending the wall, I was greeted by a panorama of unparalleled grandeur.
Stretching as far as the eye could see, the Great Wall was an architectural masterpiece and a testament to human perseverance. It was more than a physical barrier; it embodied the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people throughout history. Walking along its uneven stones, I marveled at the breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape.
Standing atop the Great Wall, I felt a profound connection to the generations that had come before me. It was a reminder of China's enduring heritage and its ability to bridge the past and present.
A Sanctuary for Hope - Panda Rescue Center
My expedition in Chengdu, the heart of Sichuan province, where the scent of spicy cuisine wafted through the air. My visit to the Panda Rescue Center, a haven for one of the world's most beloved and endangered species.
Within the center's lush green grounds, I encountered giant pandas in their natural habitat. Their black-and-white fur shone in the dappled sunlight as they feasted on bamboo. The sight of these magnificent creatures, embodying grace and vulnerability, left me in awe.
My visit went beyond superficial admiration; it was a lesson in the commitment to conservation. Conversations with the dedicated staff unveiled their tireless efforts to protect and rehabilitate injured and orphaned pandas. Their unwavering passion highlighted China's dedication to safeguarding these gentle giants and their fragile ecosystems.
The Elegance of Bamboo - Bamboo Museum
I ventured to the Bamboo Museum, an ode to China's reverence for nature and craftsmanship. This institution celebrated the versatility of bamboo, showcasing its importance in art, culture, and daily life.
As I wandered through the museum's galleries, I marveled at bamboo's transformation into intricate sculptures, functional utensils, and musical instruments. The sustainability of bamboo as a rapidly renewable resource echoed throughout the exhibits, underscoring its significance in an eco-conscious world.
Witnessing in a bamboo weaving workshop brought me closer to this ancient craft. Skilled artisans wove delicate patterns, which deepened my appreciation for the artistry involved and the environmental benefits of bamboo.
Mastering Nature - Dujiang Water Conservatory Project Hub
The next leg of my journey led me to the Dujiangyan Water Conservatory Project Hub, an engineering marvel that testified to China's ancient mastery of water management. Nestled in Sichuan province, this historical site showcased the enduring impact of human innovation.
The Dujiangyan system harnessed the Minjiang River's power to irrigate the fertile Chengdu Plain. Its network of canals, weirs, and levees was a testament to the ingenuity of ancient Chinese civilization.
Walking amidst the ancient stones and meandering waterways, I was struck by the harmony between history and nature. The site's preservation was a reminder of the importance of responsible water management in an era marked by environmental challenges.
A Monument of Serenity: Leshan Giant Buddha
Leshan Giant Buddha, a majestic statue carved into the mountainside. The serenity of this colossal figure, standing at over 71 meters tall, left an indelible mark on my soul.
As I gazed upon this monumental work of art, I couldn't help but be moved by the scale of human achievement and the profound spiritual significance of this remarkable site.
Epilogue: A Journey of Enlightenment and Commitment
My voyage through China had been an extraordinary tapestry, woven with threads of history, culture, and conservation. From the serene Panda Rescue Center to the magnificent Great Wall, and the enlightening seminar on wildlife protection, I had witnessed China's dedication to preserving its natural and cultural heritage.
I returned home with cherished memories and a renewed sense of responsibility. My journey was a testament to China's commitment to nurturing its natural and cultural treasures, and I was inspired to join the global community in safeguarding our planet's biodiversity. China had opened my eyes to the beauty of its landscapes, the richness of its culture, and the urgency of protecting our shared natural heritage.
Ideas about the seminar and appreciation to the NAFGA team
The seminar was well-organized and coordinated. The only thing I can suggest is that they provide more t-shirts to the participants. Some trips required us to wear t-shirts for three straight days, so it would be beneficial to have the option to change.
The warmth and efficiency of the team that welcomed and accommodated us were truly exceptional. Their hospitality and seamless coordination made us feel not just valued guests but an integral part of their community. It's a testament to their dedication and professionalism, leaving an indelible mark on our visit.
我在中国体验自然遗产的希望之旅
中国是一幅蕴含着璀璨历史、文化和生物多样性的宽幅画卷，我来参加一次有关发展中国家进出口管理与濒危物种保护的研修班，踏上探索之旅。
绿色智慧：植物园
这次研修班带我去了北京的一个植物园，这里可谓是中国展示丰富生物多样性和环境保护事业的典范。我在琳琅满目的植物物种之间流连忘返，每一个物种都为世界生态画卷增添了一份色彩。
探索植物园中的各类生态系统时，我不禁感叹动植物之间的复杂联系，它们生动地向我们展示了保护地球生物多样性的重要性。
历史卫士：万里长城
不到长城非好汉，中国之行也黯淡。这次的目的地是令人敬畏的慕田峪长城，沧桑的城砖见证了人们几个世纪的汗水。登上长城，无与伦比的壮丽景色尽收眼底。连绵不绝的长城堪称人类建筑史上的杰作，也是人类坚忍不拔精神的写照。它是一座高墙，体现了中国人民弥久以来不屈不挠的精神。脚下是凹凸不平的石板，周围是令人赞叹的美景。凌绝长城之巅，我感觉与前人建立起了心灵上的联系。这又一次让我体验到了中国的历史悠久，源远流长。
希望之地：熊猫基地
在川蜀的中心——成都考察时，空气中弥漫着麻辣的香气。我参观了熊猫基地，一所为这世上最可爱的濒危动物设立的乐园。在基地布满绿色植被的场地内，我见到了大熊猫的自然栖息地。熊猫在竹林中大嚼竹子，黑白相间的皮毛在斑驳的阳光下闪闪发亮。美丽的动物，如此优雅，又如此脆弱，让我心生敬畏。在我的探访中，收获的不仅是表面的钦佩之情，更是一次关于自然保护的课程。我同职员们进行交流，了解到他们在救治受伤的和失去母亲的熊猫时付出的艰辛，他们的热情与细心彰显了中国保护脆弱生态系统的决心。
优雅竹韵：竹编博物馆
我参观了竹编博物馆，一曲中国呈给自然和手工艺的颂歌。这座博物馆展示了竹子的多种用途，以及竹子在艺术文化以及日常生活中的重要地位。漫步在博物馆的展厅里，我对那些竹子构成的复杂雕塑、家常用具和乐器赞叹不已。竹子作为一种可快速再生资源，其可持续性在展品中都有体现。亲临竹编工作坊，让我得以近距离接触这门古老的手艺。工匠们的巧手编织出精美的图案，这让我对竹子爱不释手。
驾驭自然：都江堰水利枢纽工程
旅程的下一站，是都江堰水利枢纽工程，这是一个工程奇迹，印证了古代中国治水的成就。都江堰水利枢纽位于四川省，这座历史遗迹展示了人类的创造力。都江堰水系利用岷江的水灌溉肥沃的成都平原，运河、堰塘和堤坝构成的网络，体现了中国古代文明的智慧。漫步在古老的石块和蜿蜒的水道之间，体现了人与自然和谐相处的智慧这座遗址的保护工作提醒我们，在这个充满环境危机的时代，要进一步加强水资源管理。
静谧遗迹：乐山大佛
乐山大佛是一座在山体上雕刻出来的巨大佛像。这座巨佛高达71米，给我留下了深刻印象。凝视着这座不朽的艺术，我完全被这种美轮美奂所折服。
后记：启示与承诺之旅
我的中国之行就像一幅美好的画卷，由历史、文化和自然保护的丝线编织而成。从静谧的熊猫基地到雄伟的万里长城，再到引人深思的野生动物保护研修班，我见证了中国在自然保护和文化遗产保护方面的努力与付出。
