"[It was] really fun getting acquainted in China and [I] loved the trip! The spots chosen were very interesting, scenic and historic.

I love seeing with my own eyes the places I have read about and seen in pictures! The terra-cotta warriors and the Great Wall were two of those places!

I think the trip was well planned and we packed in as much as possible without it being too stressful! Even the shopping was awesome!!

China is a beautiful country!!"

Organized by the Ohlone College Chinese Department to supplement and support the Chinese language curriculum through international and intercultural experiences, this tour to Beijing, Yangtze River, Guilin and Hong Kong is intended to provide extended contact with the target language environment and give students a chance to develop academically and personally, gain cultural insights, and foster intercultural awareness and understanding. It is hoped to afford experiences and benefits that are difficult to duplicate in class.
