Project Introduction

Disciplines/Subjects: Science、Social Study、Language

Key Themes: Curiosity、Healthy eating、Plant growth、Regions and cuisine


China is an ancient civilization with a profound history of five thousand years. Our traditional culture is vast and profound, and among it, the culinary culture is particularly charming. Chinese cuisine is not merely food; it also carries our history, customs, and wisdom.

We have dumplings during the Spring Festival, symbolizing reunion and wealth; zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan; and mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, representing fulfillment and reunion. These delicacies are not only delicious but also imbued with deep cultural significance.

Learners are going to open a "Culinary Street" in the Moon Exploration Community, allowing friends from all over the world to taste traditional Chinese cuisine and experience its unique cultural charm. At the same time, they will also promote the concept of healthy eating, so that everyone can enjoy delicious and healthy food.

In this project, learners can:

Gain an understanding of the concept of healthy eating and learn about the relationship between the human digestive system and diet.

Explore the signature dishes of major Chinese cities, learn about traditional Chinese tea culture, and try making traditional Chinese pastries and dried fruits.

Discover the beauty of food, understand the culture of traditional Chinese shops, and create their own unique stores.
