*Cycle & Stride Day Trip*

03/08/2024 a sunny and sky clear summer day, the Chinese Health Information Centre (CHIC) based in Manchester organized a one-day trip to visit Piece Hall in Halifax, a historic market town in West Yorkshire. Halifax has been a centre of wool manufacturing in England since the 15th century. In recent years, the government has invested significantly in reviving the old market.

In the afternoon, the tour bus departed’s to Valley Gardens in Harrogate. After arriving, we walked together, enjoying the diverse array of flowers and trees in the garden. The scenery was beautiful and charming, with everyone busy taking pictures, chatting, and laughing, filled with joy.

“Needless to say, the 106 people were happy to take part in the Chinese Information Health Centre’s day trip, and their joy were clearly visible on their faces.”
