The sleek and cosmopolitan city of Shanghai has redefined itself countless times in its long history. Starting as a sleepy fishing village, and transforming into international melting pot, today’s modern Shanghai is filled with gleaming skyscrapers. Study Chinese and take advantage of Shanghai’s location on the banks of the Huangpu River as you stroll along the waterfront Bund or explore the shops and cafés of the Nanjing Road. After your Chinese course is over for the day, the sights of the world’s most ancient - and most modern - civilization await. Travel to the bustling city of Beijing, with its ancient treasures or to the beautiful city of Hangzhou.
