Can I choose multiple locations and combine them? Would I be able to vary the cities every two weeks? For example, 2 weeks Kunming, 2 weeks Dali, 2 weeks Lijiang, etc.?
Yes, definitely. Offering these locations for studying Chinese is to encourage students to combine different places so that students can have an immersion experience in the Chinese language and culture. Feel free to combine any of the places and adjust the course duration for each place.
Suggestions:
- If your goal is to improve your Mandarin Chinese as soon as possible, and you hope the program to be as intensive and immersive as possible. In that case, you can choose the Kunming campus because it offers more facilities and activities and is located in the city center of Kunming with a metro station downstairs. This offers great convenience for life and opportunities for studying. You can travel to Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Tengchong, Puzhehei, etc., on weekends.
- If you aim to improve your Chinese while exploring the stunningly beautiful scenery and the diverse minority cultures in Yunnan, feel free to combine different locations with setting yourself in vacation mode.
Anyway, you are so welcome to design a course that fits your schedule and learning goals.
I want to study at different locations, is the transportation fee between different locations included in the tuition?
Transportation between different locations is not included in the tuition fee. Since all these locations are in Yunnan, it is easy to get from one to the other. We offer free pick-ups and drop-offs from train stations/airports at all of our locations. For example, after you finish your program in Kunming and would like to start your program in Dali, we will take you to the airport or train station in Kunming. After you arrive at the airport or train station in Dali, we will pick you up there and take you to the school. Below are sample routes and their costs:
Kunming -> Dali: Bullet train, 2.5 hours, RMB 150 one way
Kunming -> Lijiang: Bullet train, 3.5 hours, RMB 230 one way
Kunming -> Puzhehei: Bullet train, 1 hour, RMB 75 one way

Kunming -> Yuanyang: Bus, 6 hours, RMB 140 one way
Kunming -> Jingmai Tea Mountain: Flight, 1 hour, RMB 750 one way
You can’t book the train ticket at a very early time. You can book the train ticket around 2 to 3 weeks before the trip. If you decide to take the train, we will be happy to help you to book the train tickets.

Your accommodation at Keats starts on Sunday. You can arrive on a Sunday and start your lessons on Monday. The check-out date is Saturday after you finish your lessons on Friday. If it is hard to find the best flight to arrive on Sunday or to leave on Saturday and you need to arrive one day earlier or leave one day later, that’s also possible.
