Huiquan Agricultural Ecological Park in Zhangqiu district, Jinan, Shandong province welcomed a group of overseas students from Shandong University on Jan 3. 

More than 10 foreign students visited the fruit greenhouses, getting to know Chinese modern agriculture covering soilless cultivation, hydroponics and some advanced agricultural technologies.

The ecological park integrates fruit painting, product distribution, agricultural product processing, and ecological tourism.

Huiquan Agriculture Park has also joined hands with Shandong University to build a practice teaching base for international students to help overseas students have a deeper understanding of Chinese agriculture.
