As the summer holiday brought a more relaxed rhythm to campus, international students of IEC gathered for a special Vacation Fun Day. Held on the first floor of the Friendship Villa, the activity turned an ordinary summer day into an afternoon of games, laughter and friendship.

The event featured a variety of board and card games, including Monopoly, chess and other strategic and social games. Students gathered around tables, formed groups, explained game rules to one another and competed in a friendly atmosphere. Some students focused on intense chess matches during the activity. Friendly competition quickly turned into conversations, jokes and plenty of laughter, creating a warm and atmosphere throughout the afternoon.

For international students spending their summer holiday in Shenyang, the activity offered a great chance to step away from daily routines and bond with friends, helping them stay connected with the campus community. It reflected the diversity of the IEC’s international student community. Prioritizing fun over winning, the event created precious shared moments and enriched students’ colorful campus life beyond academics. Simple collective experiences can build sincere friendship, leaving wonderful summer memories for all participants.
