In Chinese culture, bamboo means a lot. On one hand, it stands straight and stays green all year round so it's always full of life. I wish you as strong and energetic as a bamboo. On the other hand, it's hard outside but hollow inside, symbolizing a strong will and modesty. Generally speaking, bamboo is used to represent a noble and gentle person in Chinese.
I do hope that you enjoy the gift and wish you a pleasant journey.
Yours,
