"China is so different from my very first impression." these words uttered several times, when a group of ten New Zealand journalists enjoyed their trip in Guangdong in June 12-17.

"China is a country we hear very much about in New Zealand, but to actually come here is a great opportunity to learn." said Adam Bennett, from NZ Herald, one of the New Zealand's largest newspapers.

He was impressed by the human energy here. "Every body is seems to be working hard with a lot of energy, I'm intended to came back to meet more Chinese people and lean more about China from them," He said.

"Most of the correspondents are come to China for the first time, it is a trip for them to look into china, and know a real China. The trip is expected to strengthen the people's friendship between China and New Zealand, and seize some opportunities that exist for cooperation and trade between two countries." said Jerry Yang, the Chief Editor of New Zealand Chinese Herald, who once worked in China. 

Invited by Guangdong Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and organized by New Zealand Chinese Herald, the media team have a-week-long trip in Guangdong to see by their own eyes the province's development and local people's everyday life.

They've visited Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, industrial town in Zhongshan, New Zealand-funded companies, logistics center, schools and tourism destinations in Guangzhou and watchtower in Kaiping, and watched the traditional Dragon boat race.
