With intensive one-on-one courses and tailored teaching methods, you can improve rapidly while living in one of China’s most dynamic cities. Full service is offered, making it easy to focus entirely on your Chinese studies.

• The best part of studying in Shenzhen is that your teacher accompanies you on daily sightseeing after class, creating a pure Chinese language environment. Your teacher will practice Chinese with you in real-life situations. Studying Chinese in Shenzhen not only focuses on the language but also offers the chance to explore the city with your teacher.

• If you prefer a large, lively international student community or a school community experience, choose to learn Chinese in Kunming at the Kunming campus or learn Chinese in Chengdu at the Chengdu campus.

Shenzhen Bay Park is a beloved coastal destination famous for its 13-kilometer seaside greenway. It’s a “must-visit” spot where you can see the sea right after exiting the metro station.

Dapeng Fortress is a well-preserved ancient military fortification with a history of over 600 years. It was built in the Ming Dynasty to defend against pirates and is the origin of Shenzhen’s nickname, “Pengcheng” (City of the Roc). Walking through its stone streets, you can explore traditional Lingnan-style buildings, temples, and historic residences. Nearby is the seaside village of Jiaochangwei, often called Shenzhen’s “Little Gulangyu,” where you can relax on the beach or ride a scooter along the coast.

Located in the heart of the city, the Futian Mangrove Nature Reserve is an ecological oasis and an important stopover for migratory birds. It is the smallest nature reserve in China, protecting a unique wetland ecosystem where you can see mangrove forests, egrets, and mudskippers. A winding coastal boardwalk allows you to walk through the mangroves with the city skyline on one side and the serene wetland on the other. It’s a perfect spot for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and photography enthusiasts, especially at sunset when thousands of birds return to roost.

Oysters are a historic specialty of Shenzhen, and those from Shajing are the most renowned. The area’s location where river meets sea creates a unique environment for growing large, plump oysters with a delicate, sweet flavor. A local saying praises their thin, translucent flesh as having a “glass belly”. Often called “milk of the sea” for their high nutritional value, they can be enjoyed steamed with garlic, fried, or cooked in congee. The Shajing Oyster is not just food; it’s a cultural symbol with a history dating back centuries.
