LANGUAGE PROGRAM IN BEIJING
Beijing is the capital city of the People’s Republic of China with over 13 million people, and claims the best collections of China’s treasures of the past. It is home to Renmin University, where our summer language program has been held since 1989, and to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace. Within easy reach are also the Great Wall, the famous Qing Tombs, Shan Hai Passage and many other historically significant and scenic sites.
JOURNEY TO SHANGRI-LA - TIBET & LI RIVER
First, we will visit Xi’an, the site of the Qin terra cotta soldiers tombs. From the ancient capital of Han & Tang dynasties, we will travel to the magnificently beautiful and precipitously elegant and natural Tibet & legendary Shangri-la. After adventures in the other national minority and exotic region of the Li River and Kunming City, we will fly to Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient for a 4 day visit before returning home.
