Day Trips

Why come to China if all you are going to see is the inside of a classroom? Beijing is a wonderful place with a long history which everyone should experience. We want our students to do this without having to join a tour group where half the time is spent in the souvenir shops. We want our students to go to the sights, ask questions, and have life long memories.
