Chinese Immersion Program (Beijing - Chengde)
This unique Chinese Immersion program allows you to gain a real insight into modern-day China from two very different perspectives.
Students spend the first half of their Chinese language course at our Beijing school right in the heart of the Central Business District. You will then take the train to the city of Chengde, China’s old Imperial Summer Capital, nestled in the mountains of Hebei province.
This is a whole new experience in itself and because of this we’ve made another page for it.
