Nanjing Salted Duck is the most famous dish from the city. People often call Nanjing the “Capital of Duck.” This dish is known for its light, salty taste and tender meat. The duck is not smoked or roasted; it is cooked in salt water with spices. The skin is thin and pale, and the meat is juicy and not greasy. It is a common cold dish served at family dinners or as a snack. Locals love to eat it because it is fresh and flavorful, not heavy. Every visitor to Nanjing should try this classic local specialty.
These are not ordinary boiled dumplings. They are pan-fried, so the outside is golden, crispy, and a little bit crunchy. The inside is filled with juicy, well-seasoned ground beef. The best ones have a thin skin that is soft on top and perfectly crispy on the bottom. They are usually shaped like a crescent moon. You eat them hot, often with a little vinegar for extra flavor. They are a famous and delicious snack that people line up to buy. They make for a perfect, quick, and satisfying meal any time of day.
These are a delicious vegetarian version of a classic local snack. The buns are pan-fried until their bottoms become golden brown and wonderfully crispy. The inside is filled with a mix of fresh, finely chopped vegetables, like cabbage, mushrooms, and fragrant leeks. The filling is juicy and seasoned lightly with soy sauce and sesame oil. They are a very popular breakfast or street food. You can enjoy them for their satisfying mix of a crunchy outside and a soft, savory inside. It’s a simple and tasty dish that everyone, vegetarian or not, can love.

All my classmates stay together for one year and we improved so much! The teachers at Keats are all very great. They like to organize a lot of activities to help us learn Chinese. I like Keats! I like Kunming!
I have been to Keats School to learn Chinese for 4 times now. The reason for coming back to this school is pretty much that the teachers I did work with were very good Chinese teachers. I make it a 5-year plan or even a 10-year plan to come back to this school. All the teachers have methods of looking at what your skills are. They are aware of at what level you are. I think it is worth for everyone.
My first semester that I studied at another school, and the pressure there was pretty high, the classroom hour was long, and the homework was pretty tedious. Since I came to Keats, I found I have a lot more opportunities to speak in the classroom. My classmates all are fluent and love speaking and participating in the class. We have great classroom dynamic.
I think the Chinese learning environment here is great. The teaching methods are also very interactive and fun. What I particularly enjoy here is the fact that my teacher does not stick to the textbook. We spend a lot of time discussing general topics, such as Chinese culture, world news, typical expressions used by local people. We also discuss social and economic topics.
I really had a wonderful experience at the school. The teachers are very very friendly. In my class, we practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We play games and other fun activities. We have trips around town. The staff at Keats is phenomenal. My teacher is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my educational experience. She comes in with a smile every day.
Since last semester, we started studying Chinese at Keats. It was the best choice we can ever make. It is a really good school. The classes are a lot of fun, you learn a lot, but very interactive, so you talk a lot which means it is not just books and writing. Kunming is a really pleasant city to live in, especially if you compare it to other cities in the east. If you like to travel, if you like to study Chinese in a fun way, Keats has the best Chinese language program for you.
I found Keats School and I am so glad that I did. When you learn Chinese in China at Keats, you are fully being taken care of. My teacher is really great and we become lovely friends.
I have really enjoyed the Chinese course in China at Keats and meeting the teachers here and the students. We have a lot of fun in class. It is a really great school to learn with good teaching methods and a really good textbook, examples and games, and everything.
