"A great way to learn Chinese."

Valerie Teasdale, student from Canada

The schedule was perfect with free time to study and do the homework.
The teacher I had was awesome, great methods and enthousiasm.
Yangshuo is a very beautiful little city. I felt home.
My hotel was also great.

I had a great taichi class in the afternoon. Loved the teacher and the school.

I did not participate at the activities but they seemed very interesting.

The food at the canteen was not really great. I spent a bit in the restaurants around to have something better to eat.
