A Working Meeting

The meeting I attended was held by the Central Agricultural Radio and Television School and was for employees in such schools at different administrative levels.

The attendees numbered seventy-two in total and came from seventeen provinces.

This meeting lasted five days, from Monday to Friday, and aimed to improve the education and training abilities of teachers in such schools.

The meeting didn’t charge a training fee, but the attendees needed to pay for their hotel accommodation and their fares between Beijing and their hometowns.

Most of the time during the meeting, we were in a big meeting room and listened to lectures given by specialists and professionals. We only had one chance to visit a farm in a rural area to observe the farm work there.

Classroom discipline was strict. We couldn’t be absent without proper reasons and permission from the meeting manager.

The meeting offered meals, but I don’t think the dishes were very nice. Breakfast only had two cold vegetable dishes, and some meats at lunch or dinner didn't smell fresh.

I am on a high-speed train back home and am writing this journal entry now. I am supposed to arrive at my hometown at roughly five p.m.

I thought about taking some specialties home. Quanjude Roast Duck is famous, but people say it is only delicious when eaten fresh, and packaged roast duck doesn't smell great.

Tianfuhao’s Braised Pork Knuckles is also a local specialty, but netizens say it’s too salty.

The pickles from Liubiju are also a local specialty, but I hate pickles because health specialists say pickles can lead to cancer.

Zhang Yiyuan’s Jasmine Tea is also famous, but I already have so many different types of teas at home.

Thus, I only brought some traditional pastries and moon cakes from Daoxiangcun. It’s the authentic one, the Sanhe Daoxiangcun. I hope my family enjoys them.

The attendees numbered seventy-two in total and came from seventeen different provinces.

This meeting lasted five days, from Monday to Friday, and aimed to improve the education and training abilities of teachers in suchthese types of schools.

Most of the time, during the meeting, we were in a big meeting room and listened to lectures given by specialists and professionals.

It might flow better to connect this sentence to the previous sentence with a semicolon (;).

Breakfast only had two cold vegetable dishes, and somthe meats at lunch orand dinner didn't smell fresh.

I thought about taking some specialtie gifts home as a souvenir.

Specialties may not make sense on its own.
A souvenir might work better because it is basically a gift you buy from a new place to remember it.

Feels more natural with this word order.

I am supposexpected to arrive at my hometown at roughly five p.m.

"supposed to arrive" makes it sound as though you should have arrived at 5pm, but for some reason it didn't happen.

This sentence is fine but you could clarify what you mean by "the authentic one".
It's not clear whether this is the pastries that are authentic or the shop you bought them from.

I hope my family enjoys them.

There are two Daoxiangcun in Beijing. One with a logo of three "禾" (he) is the authentic one, while the other is not. But many visitors don't know this, leading to their buying pastries and mooncakes in the fake Daoxiangcun. Thus, when I say "authentic", I mean both the "three 禾" Daoxiangcun and its products. Thank you very much.
