      Kunming is the capital of Yunnan province. Yunnan is one of China’s southern provinces, bordering Vietnam and Laos to the south, Myanmar to the West, and mountainous Tibet to the northwest. This makes Kunming, near the center of Yunnan, a perfect springboard for further travel in Asia. When Keats students, especially long-term students, find themselves a little tired when studying Chinese, they usually travel to Vietnam or Thailand for about 4 to 5 days.

      WHY TAKE a Chinese immersion program in Kunming?

      BETTER WEATHER

      No matter where you are from, you will appreciate the mild climate here. Compared to other cities in China, Kunming is one of the most livable cities due to its great weather. If you want a city with the best climate, learn Chinese in Kunming, Yunnan.

      CLEANER AIR

      Clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds makes everyday life in Kunming pleasant. Kunming enjoys superior air quality primarily due to its unique geography and favourable climate. The city’s longstanding title “City of Eternal Spring” reflects these conditions. Compared to many lowland and northern Chinese metropoles, Kunming faces fewer challenges from heavy industry and coal heating, resulting in reliably fresher, cleaner air for its residents. As the capital city of Yunnan Province, Kunming experiences some of the lowest levels of air pollution in China.

      MORE AFFORDABLE

      Kunming offers greater affordability compared to China’s first-tier coastal cities, primarily due to its lower cost of living. Daily expenses, including local food, transportation, and services, are also more modest while maintaining good quality. While not the cheapest in China, its affordability is enhanced by a relaxed pace of life and rich natural amenities, like its perennial spring climate, which reduce the need for expensive climate control. This balance of low costs and high livability provides exceptional value, making it an attractive and sustainable base for many residents.

      MORE CULTURAL DIVERSITY

      Despite China’s fast development, Kunming in Yunnan retains traditional Chinese culture making it a very interesting and fun blend. Yunnan hosts almost half of the Chinese ethnic minorities, meaning there is an endless diversity of culture with a rich history – good news for food lovers. China has 56 minority groups and Yunnan is home for 26 minority groups.

      SMOOTHER TRANSITION

      Affordability, a smooth visa process, and a relaxed class environment make for an unbeatable combination. If you are looking for the most affordable Mandarin Chinese language program in China, welcome to study at Keats in Kunming, Yunnan.

          In the one-to-one intensive Chinese course, you can choose the learning method you like. The small group Chinese class in China at Keats follows the HSK textbook. Teachers often collect feedback from the students, teachers listen to our requirements and opinions. I felt that my oral level is better than before .

          Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

          I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!

          It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.
