After traveling for three hours on the bus, students walked into the opium museum with yawns. This museum was an important historical architecture. Right after entering, we saw arrays of colorful poppies. According to the explanation from the tour guide, we understand that the petals of poppies can be made into anesthesia, and the liquid that came out from the fruit after cutting the skin can be made into opium. I certainly believe that the museum is one of the best that I've ever visited. Historical events are explained and depicted vividly throughout the well-designed hallway. Life-like statue of people are even more attractive. After the visit, we learned the history of the spread of opium and its important role in impacting the history of China, Asia and the Great Britain. Addiction was the greatest weapon that could completely destroy a county's labors, energy, cultural development and any other economic activities. We experienced the weakness of humanity and learned how great the payback would be if we abused drugs. After that, we visited the Golden Triangle which shaped was located in the border line of three counties, including Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. For us, it is a very cool experience to see the borders of three countries at once while traveling on the boat along the Mekong River. The tour guide talked about the economic conditions of the three countries in humorous tone, making his words even more easily remembered and understood. Today we walked out from the boring history textbooks to learn and experience the contexts on our own. Again, we are deeply astonished by the awe-inspiring natural scenes and the life lessons taught by human history and nature.
