  • You want drama?
    Like that movie-moment when two great warriors clash in battle, dueling for the fate of the world? Or when perfect soul mates must face unbeatable odds to be together? China has all the excitement and magic of the movies, but it’s real.

    There’s hardly a place more different from America than China. “Cinematic” barely begins to describe the beauty of ancient Nanjing, where the Yangtze River laps its dewy banks at the foot of the great Purple Mountain.

    You can get into this amazing summer program with just a little bit of previous Chinese language instruction (approx. one year or the equivalent). Your room on campus is a short walk from the city center, with easy access to various campus activities like Kung Fu or painting. The only suspense here is how you’ll fit in everything you want to do and see, so expect to enjoy every moment of this epic adventure!



    This 6,000- year-old city might feel like a movie set at first, until you realize it’s also a major commercial and cultural center brimming with action. Sights like the cavernous Ming Tombs, the Drum Tower, the Flying Swallow Overlook, and the ancient treasures in the Nanjing Museum will delight. Savor the irony that the Confucius Temple (first built in 1034 as a place of reflection) is now surrounded by market stalls selling everything from jade amulets to CDs. And because this is South China, you can be sure to find foods you’ve never imagined—monkey fish anyone?
