A group of postgraduates from Northwestern Polytechnic University recently visited Xi'an International Trade & Logistics Park as part of their social practice. The students, who major in public administration, discussed the history and future development of the Park after visiting the exhibition hall which focuses on park planning, and watching a promotion video. They also toured the comprehensive bonded zone and modern logistics companies in the area. Students later said that the visit allowed them to gain further understanding of China's public policies and advanced experience in developing and managing an inland port. They hoped the experience would help them in their approach of the theories learned at school. Edited by Niva Whyman
