Day 4 -
After a delicious breakfast, we were toured by a local tour guide to visit Oki Shrine and Akiyakaigan (明屋海岸). The tour guide passionately introduced us to the history of Oki Islands when the former emperor was exiled from the Kyoto Prefectures after a political struggle. He then brought us to kaigan that showed the magnificent natural landscape. The coastal landforms came in different shapes and colors, with variation in formation and composition.  

We then departed from Dozen and arrived at Dogo in the afternoon. We visited the Oki High School. The students were enthusiastic and had quite some interesting conversations with our students. 
They also sat in their lessons and had a sharing about Hong Kong Geopark. They then discussed about the natural heritage, local comics, cultural heritage and the respective government policies in different own countries. Upon their departure, we prepared gifts from Hong Kong to show our goodwills and thankfulness to their hospitality. It was another fruitful day and students wrote their reflections about their learning at the trip!

Day 3 was another exciting day when we travelled to Oki Islands by ferry. We were greeted with representatives from the Oki Islands Geopark with great warmth and hospitality. We hopped on sightseeing boat and sparked off our journey in the coast of Oki Islands. The rocks and stones in different shapes and sizes were formed by volcanic eruption and wave eruption. Students were given a detailed introduction about the formation of these rocks as well as the myths and stories created by people here. It was a long and fruitful day of learning. Last but not least, the day was ended with another feast prepared by the staff and students had the chances to try the local food here!
