Not a tourist trip, but a structured international experience. In one week students stand on the Great Wall, walk the Forbidden City, and then step into Shanghai, one of the fastest-moving cities on earth.

    The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the hutong lanes of old Beijing, with a traditional cultural workshop.

  • China's present

    The Bund and Nanjing Road, Yu Garden and Shanghai's old town. Food, trains, etiquette and daily life, experienced the way locals live it.

  • China's future
