If you want to learn Mandarin Chinese while experiencing the stunningly beautiful scenery of China, the Chinese Language Course + Tour in China program is for you. We will design your Chinese language course according to your personal needs and organize your trips to different parts of China. For the Chinese language course, you can choose to study for 4 hours/day or 6 hours/day of intensive immersion one-on-one Chinese lessons from 1 week to 52 weeks. For traveling in China, we offer multiple 1-week tour packages. We will combine the two parts and create a customized program for you.
This is a hassle-free program where you do not need to worry about study plans, travel plans, transportation, food, hotel, airport pick-up, etc because we will do everything for you. The tours/trips in China will be led by a professional Keats Chinese teacher, which means you will learn Mandarin Chinese in a practical context.
A notable feature of the Chinese Language Course + Tour in China program is that you can come alone to study Chinese and then invite your friends or family to join the tours in China if they are not interested in learning Chinese. This gives you a chance to gather with your family while you learn Chinese in Kunming or at other locations. It is a good opportunity to practice and show off your Mandarin Chinese skills.
The itineraries offered by travel agencies are often designed to appeal to a broad audience, which can lead to generic experiences that lack authenticity. Travelers might find themselves visiting tourist traps instead of enjoying unique, local experiences. Traveling with travel agencies usually comes with a very tight schedule, which moves from one place to another quickly.
However, traveling with a Chinese teacher offers the chance to experience the local culture deeply, and sometimes, you feel like you live there like a local. Each place on the tour itinerary is carefully selected to help students learn the local culture thoroughly while appreciating the beautiful scenery. You are not rushing but enjoying the trip at a relaxed pace.
To ensure that you enjoy the trip as comfortably as possible and keep practicing Chinese while you travel, we arrange a Keats Chinese teacher to accompany you throughout the journey. In this way, you can also practice your Chinese with your Chinese teacher. Traveling in China with a Keats teacher not only offers you great opportunities to talk to Chinese people along the trip, but also helps you improve your Chinese in real-life situations.
As an outstanding Chinese language institute that is well established for nearly 20 years, we offer students program certificates at the end of the program. You can use it for:
You will have FREE access to Keats Fitness Center, Keats Library, Keats Cafeteria, Keats Time Cafe, self-study rooms, and laundry rooms.

About studying Chinese here, I think the living condition is very convenient because the dorm is very close to the classroom. Our teachers really enjoy teaching Chinese. They are also very passionate. Compared with other cities in China, Kunming has really good weather.
I’ve had an amazing time at Keats. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned over the last 3 weeks and I will be really sad to go. We are already planning on our next trip of coming back because we had such a fantastic time here. They really tailor the Chinese language course to you and your individual needs.
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.
It is very comfortable studying at Keats. The teachers are very friendly. I welcome you to come to study Chinese in China at Keats.
Kunming’s scenery is very beautiful. It is the best place to study Chinese in China. My favorite learning method at Keats School is one-on-one because it is suitable for everyone. My teacher is very good, very caring, and lovely. My life when learning Chinese in Kunming is very good and the weather is very good. The air is very good. It is good for the elderly’s body.
I have 2 teachers, and I do 4 hours a day. So I have got Dong Laoshi and Jin Laoshi. Both of them are very good. They made the experience very nice to me. They are willing to help you whenever, so if you ever have a question here, the teachers are always there to help you whether it is visas, whether it is getting around the city. Everyone wants to talk to you.
I’ve been at Keats school and Kunming now for one month doing the one-on-one Chinese lessons with two different teachers. I really enjoy it. Both of my teachers are very friendly and patient. They really helped me to improve my Chinese, both of my reading and speaking. I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming as well. This city is really beautiful and the weather is nice, the air is clean. It’s one of the best cities in China to study Chinese.
The best part of the school is the patience the instructors had and the time to focus on the fundamentals like pronunciation. I think it is very easy to skip over those and go to vocabulary. But by learning the pronunciation, I feel like it helped me gain a better understanding of the language.
You can design your own Chinese language course + Tour program. For example, you can do a 2-week course and then a 1-week tour, or you can do 1-week course, and then 1-week travel, and then 1-week course, and then 1-week travel (still 2 weeks of course + 2 weeks of travel). You can do the combination at your preference.
For the Chinese language course, you can choose to study for 4 hours/day or 6 hours/day of intensive one-on-one Chinese immersion classes from 1 week to 52 weeks. For the tours in China, you can choose multiple tour packages. You can decide when to take the tours during the program.
The Chinese language course + Tour program is a program that combines the intensive one-on-one Chinese course with trips, but you are not taking them together. You can choose to study Chinese in Kunming or at other locations with 4 or 6 hours per day of Chinese lessons, then you can take a 1-week tour after the Chinese language program finishes. The Chinese lessons and the tours are separate, but you can decide when to take the tour. For example, if a student takes a Chinese language course for 8 weeks + 1-week tour, he/she can decide when to take the tour. For example, he/she can take the tour after 4 weeks of Chinese lessons, then take another 4 weeks of lessons after the tour, or he/she can take the 1-week tour after 8 weeks of one-on-one Chinese lessons.
We offer multiple 1-week tour packages, so you can also choose to do multiple tours if you to travel to all these places.
If you are a short-term student who studies less than 4 weeks, you can take the 1-week tour after you finish your one-on-one Chinese lessons in Kunming or at other locations. In this way, you can practice what you have learned in the classroom during the trip because you will be accompanied by a Keats Chinese teacher during the trip.
If you are a long-term student who studies for more than 4 weeks, we can arrange the tours during the middle of your Chinese program. Now you can have a break from your Chinese lessons by taking wonderful tours in China. The tours will make you refreshed and re-energized and get you ready for your second part of Chinese lessons. Here is a sample schedule:
Chinese lessons for 10 weeks –> Tour for 1 week –> Chinese lessons for another 10 weeks –> Tour for another week
The 3 meals a day are offered Monday to Friday when you take Chinese classes at Keats Kunming Campus.
The price includes breakfast when you travel. The price does not include lunch or dinner when you travel because you will have many options to choose from.
Yes, you are very welcome to bring your wife/friends/relatives to join the tour. Family members and friends are encouraged to join the tour if they don’t take Chinese classes at Keats. You can select 2 PERSONS in the tour part when you register.
If you travel by yourself, you can select 1 PERSON when you register.
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.
