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 and the Chengdu campus because they offer more facilities and activities. This offers great convenience for life and opportunities for studying. You can travel to Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Tengchong, Puzhehei, etc. or other cities, on weekends.
• If you aim to improve your Chinese while exploring the stunning scenery and diverse minority cultures in Yunnan, feel free to combine different locations and set yourself in vacation mode.

Anyway, you are welcome to design a course that fits your schedule and learning goals.

Transportation between different locations is not included in the tuition fee. Since the Chinese high-speed train is very developed, it is easy to get from one place to another. 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:

There are two choices for one-on-one Chinese language classes: 4 hours per day (20 hours per week) and 6 hours per day (30 hours per week). You can choose the level of intensity according to your needs.

If your time to study in China is very limited and you want to make the most out of your time at Keats, 6 hours per day is recommended. You will have 2 to 3 teachers if you study for 6 hours a day.

If you are on vacation and want to have a relaxed schedule while making solid progress, 4 hours per day is recommended. You will have 1 to 2 teachers if you study for 4 hours a day.

If you take the one-on-one lessons in Kunming and Chengdu, you will meet other students during mealtime, you will have fun together by participating in all Keats activities, and you will hang out together after class if you make some new friends here. One-on-one means you will have the Chinese class in a 1-to-1 setting (one teacher teaches only one student in the class), but you will have the chance to explore many cool things with other students after class.

Keats opens all year round except for a 1-week break during the Spring Festival, which is usually in February.

There is a 1-week break during the Spring Festival 05/02/2027-13/02/2027. Accommodation will be provided for free for this week at the Kunming campus and the Chengdu campus. Classes and meals will not be provided during this week.

You can also travel to other places in China during this week.

We are open during other holidays such as Christmas, National Day, Labor Day, New Year, etc.

You will meet your teacher after you arrive, before you officially start the lessons, to discuss your learning goals and expectations. This offers your teacher an opportunity to assess your current Chinese language level. Your teacher will then prepare the lessons according to your level of Chinese and learning needs.

Yes, we offer double rooms for couples and families. Since a double room is twice the size of a single room, the price is the same as booking two single rooms.
