Editor's note: With the coming of the summer vacation, study tours of primary and middle school students have become a hot attraction. Children come in groups to major attractions, museums and universities to learn while sightseeing. At the same time, some problems arise such as poor quality, excessive charges and security risks. What do you think makes a good study tour? If you had the chance, would you sign your child up for a study tour? Readers share their opinions.

I encourage children to participate in study tours to enhance their understanding of the knowledge in books. China has a proverb that says, "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books." By experiencing firsthand the knowledge during their travels, we can turn the textbooks into real experiences, thus gaining a deeper comprehension of the knowledge's significance.
