Shenzhen

Modern China at its best

Shenzhen, a vibrant economic hub in South China just across the border from Hong Kong, is home to more than 10 million people. It’s not only the city of gleaming skyscrapers a center of commerce, but also a popular tourist destination for both domestic and international travelers. With an international airport as well as a bustling ferry terminal providing service to Hong Kong and Macau, Shenzhen offers a menu of gastronomic, theme-park, entertainment, and retail adventures for all tastes.

Why Choose Shenzhen for A Winter Camp

Shenzhen’s tropical climate makes it the perfect destination for a winter camp. With continually warm weather, students can escape the harsh winters of their home countries and enjoy a warm break away. But this isn’t a put-your-feet-up kind of break; in fact, the cities booming electronics industry has turned Shenzhen from a small fishing village into a bustling centre of commerce in just 35 years. So, if you’re a bit of a tech-guru or interested in gaming and the latest phones and laptops, then Shenzhen really is the place to be! This growth has caused many people to migrate to Shenzhen and there is now an amazing selection of food from across China all in one city. Staying in Shenzhen, students will have the opportunity to taste everything China has to offer. What’s more, if Hong Kong is on the agenda, there are fantastic transport links between the two cities, with a new high-speed train service taking you from Futian District to central Hong Kong in just 15 minutes.

chengdu

Chengdu is a national treasure and panda’s hometown.

With a recorded history dating back to the 4th century B.C., Cheng Du offers a variety of attractions. Arguably the most popular is the panda bear reserve on the forested edge of the city. Sichuan Opera featuring the astonishing face-changing antics of highly- skilled actors. Cheng Du also is appreciated for its easy-going tea culture and the locals’ passion for playing mahjong. Then, of course, there is the fiery Sichuan cuisine! Further, Cheng Du features excellent museums and archeological sites, as well as art and cultural events and activities – along with historic temples and monasteries where Taosim and Buddhism converge. Criss-crossed by the Jin, Fu, and Sha rivers, Cheng Du covers a total area of 12.3 thousand square kilometers (4,749 square miles) with a population of over 14 million.
