Oh.. that's interesting. (I thought most relative clauses that are followed by a subject plus a verb structure can be omitted.)
So there's no way but to find as many exceptions as possible like the above sentence?

He asked the students to write a well-formed paragraph about Ho Chi Minh City, visited on a school
trip.
