Every city tells a different China
From vast international metropolises to cities steeped in history, every destination offers a different way of living Chinese culture.
There is no single China.
Our participants are hosted by selected families, attend a Chinese language course and build genuine relationships with local people.

What stays the same, wherever you go
The city emerges from the matching process, together with the team and the host family. Whatever the destination, these three things are guaranteed.
-
Host family
Board, lodging and a monthly allowance for living expenses, with a family selected and followed by the team in China.
-
Chinese course
A language course included in the fee, with the option to sit the HSK exam at the end of the programme.
-
Local support
A contact person in China available for the whole programme, from the airport arrival to the journey home.
You can state a city preference in your application: we take it into account, although host family availability remains the deciding factor.

These are the cities where we host most often, but not the only ones: some participants have lived elsewhere too, for instance in Shenyang. You can tell us your preference in the application.

Every participant lives a different journey. But they all begin with the same choice: to go.
