With its vast cities and unique history, stunning countryside and extraordinary culture, GET Educational Tours "Living Lessons" in China offer a fantastic opportunity.
Students will be immersed in the language and culture of the world's most populous country and the cultural treasure-house of East Asia with 5,000 years of tumultuous history.
They will come face-to-face with one of Australia's major trading partner, be confronted by its many paradoxes and experience first-hand the emerging powerhouse of the 21st century as it charges forward at a pace and scale of urbanisation and economic transformation unprecedented in world history.
They will be introduced to the Middle Kingdom's ancient cultures, challenged by its sheer size and engaged in the amazing contrast with contemporary China.
They will stand in awe of the ingenuity of mankind at the Great Wall, feel the power of a great empire in the Forbidden City and the rapidly emerging modern power in Tiananmen Square, touch Old China in the narrow lanes and quadrangles of the hutongs and recognise the struggle of more than 1 billion Chinese in the last century at the collective farms.
Beyond Beijing, China offers unique experiences including a tour to the Yangtze River, Xian's Terracotta Warriors, the 26 tribes of Yunan province, Huangzhou's famous sacred mountain and the mega-city of Shanghai with its riverside Bund and ultra-contemporary business district.
Highlights include bargaining in the markets for everything from souvenirs to jewellery, bags and shoes; earning the right to wear a "I climbed the Great Wall Of China" T-shirt; experiencing the unique calm of starting the day with tai chi; and the warmth and hospitality of the Chinese as students bridge the culture gap.
In Vietnam, students will experience the beauty and culture of a truly fascinating destination.
Visit the stunning capital of Hanoi with its outstanding museums and exquisite architecture, experience the colonial splendour of the former imperial capital of Hue, travel deep into the jungle to former capital of the Champa Kigdom and My Son, wander the markets and laneways of the charming beach resort of Hoi An, shop till you drop in one of Asia's fastest growing cities in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and spend a fascinating day or two in the Mekong Delta.
Ask your GET Educational Tours representative about the many tour options available in China and Vietnam.
Coices include language lessons in Shanghai & Beijing, cooking lessons, Kung Fu lessons, a visit to the Beijing Zoo, a Hutong tour or explore the mysteries of Chinese medicine.
