Student Trips to China
When it comes to a country of incredible contrasts, China is probably one of the most diverse countries in the world. The modernity of Shanghai and Beijing is probably what you first think of, but outside of these two huge cities, you’ve got a beautiful country with tradition at its core.
So, let’s first start with the huge global powerhouses of China’s two most-visited cities; Shanghai and Beijing. These cosmopolitan cities are home to innovative skyscrapers interspersed with ancient buildings to create their incredible, awe-inspiring skylines.
Shanghai is the country’s biggest city and its financial hub. The famed waterfront promenade, the Bund lies at the heart of the city, whilst the iconic Shanghai Tower (the tallest building in Asia) and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, sit across the Huangpu River.
Beijing is China’s massive capital city, and although progressive what makes this city so special, are the links to the country’s past. From here, your students can get to visit the impressive Great Wall of China and its incredible palaces that demonstrate China’s historic architecture, such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.
Outside of these cosmopolitan cities, your students will have an enriching experience in the ancient city of Xi’an. It’s here they will get to see the Terracotta Army; a collection of sculptures depicting the armies of the First Emperor.
An educational student trip to China will undoubtedly be exhilarating, inspiring and memorable for students of any subject; here at StudyLink we can create a bespoke itinerary to meet your desired learning outcomes.
