Louka, a Belgian student with a deep passion for Eastern arts, has embarked on her study abroad journey in Xi’an, the starting point of the Silk Road. In just a few months, she has immersed herself in the legendary life of a “scholar.” Her university, Xi’an International University, serves as a base for the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture. The campus is not only modern and smart but also retains the charm of an ancient academy where students live.
The academy offers a rich array of “poetry, rites, and music” courses and activities, including guqin (ancient Chinese zither), Go, calligraphy, poetry, Chinese painting, martial arts, and dance. Louka is captivated by these experiences, saying it feels like a journey through a thousand years of time.
