Rotary has a rich history in China. The first club was chartered in Shanghai in 1919. It was the second in Asia. This English-language club included Americans and British. It soon welcomed other nationalities. Prominent local Chinese businessmen joined.
Rotary flourished in China before 1949. It spawned 33 clubs throughout the mainland. After 1949 Rotarians could not meet easily. Most members moved abroad. Rotary International disbanded the remaining clubs in 1952.
Today Rotary thrives again in China. There are now several chartered and provisional Rotary Clubs in mainland China.
The Rotary Club Campsite offers more than just a place to pitch a tent. It connects you with nature. It reminds us of Rotary’s long-standing commitment to community and environment. As you leave consider the simple beauty around you. Remember the importance of fellowship and conservation.
