Staying with one of our carefully-selected homestays is not like renting a private room. You become a member of a family, and the rest of the family will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Your hosts know you are in China to learn about the Chinese language and culture, so they will teach you new vocabulary, explain local customs, and if you’ve chosen the half- or full-board option, cook you delicious Chinese dishes too! In many cases families invite students to share in other aspects of their lives too – school events, family reunions and local festivals, for example. You’ll leave with a valuable insight into modern China, and memories to last a lifetime.
