Learn Chinese in Hangzhou
Chinese Immersion in China
Learning Chinese abroad in Hangzhou, China is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. China is more than a country – it is a whole different world, from shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, with deserts, sacred peaks, astounding caves, and imperial ruins in between. Along with the stark contrasts comes stark beauty; there is plenty to see if you can wade through the crowds.
Learn Chinese Language in China:
Located 115 miles southwest of Shanghai, this ancient capital is a beautiful combination of history, culture, and modern-city living. Hangzhou is most known for its natural beauty. The city’s West Lake is recognized as the most beautiful lake in all of China. In the same way cherry blossoms represent Japan, the osmanthus tree embodies the vibrant spirit of Hangzhou. This city spirit can also be seen throughout the year during one of its many festivals including, the osmanthus tree festival, traditional lantern making, fireworks, and tide watching. In addition, the Public Security Bureau rated Hangzhou the most secure city in China.
School Facilities:
The school is located near the beautiful West Lake, in the business and education district. The 5-story building is located only 10 minutes by bike from the lake and the city center. Set in a casual atmosphere, all indoor classrooms have a mountain-view. There is a coffee machine in the lobby and a cafeteria and restaurant on the 5th floor. Also, free internet is available. Capacity is 80 students/day.
Participants:
Mostly 21 – 40 year-olds from Europe and North America.
