Called the China Folk House Retreat, an educational program for students is bringing rural, traditional Chinese culture to West Virginia.

Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Qin Gang visited the site, where students are re-building a traditional home from Yunnan Province and other structures, using Chinese architectural methods and environmentally friendly materials.

The main home was brought from Yunnan Province to West Virginia, where it will be used for educational purposes and cross-cultural experiences. The students got to share how they are building the homestead with Ambassador Qin, who also helped complete the frame to their dormitory.
