February 2018 marked the inaugural trip for the Business and Economics department to China!  It was an 8 day extravaganza exploring 3 cities; Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing –analysing at the impact the second largest economy in the world has had on the global economy and the businesses which operate within it. From reaching the peak of the World Financial Tower in Shanghai, cycling 15kms in the sunset around the old city wall of Xi’an to climbing the VIP section of the Great Wall of China in Beijing, great fun was had by all! Accompanied by overnight sleeper trains, copious amounts of sticky rice and new friendships, this was an unforgettable trip for all involved.
