Instructors Kenneth Wong and Li Yu will lead you through an 25-day itinerary to Wuzhen (near Shanghai), Beijing, and Shenzhen, packed full of experiential learning through visits to local and national businesses, as well as historical and cultural sites.  

Wuzhen, aka Venice of the East, offers a picturesque setting for history buffs and avid photographers.

Beijing, the capital of China, is central to the growth of its economy we see today, complete with some of the best known historical sites including the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and more.

Shenzhen Polytechnic will offer a lecture series, complete with cultural experiences.  Language classes will introduce you to the basics of the Mandarin Chinese. Students will live on campus while in Shenzhen, and therefore have plenty of opportunities to interact with local students and instructors.  Most weekends will be kept free for your personal exploration.
