Lage
This training program will take place in Yangshuo, a small town pocketed within arguably the most beautiful region in China. The landscape here is endlessly scattered with steep hills and winding rivers that are a common subject of traditional Chinese ink paintings.
By definition, the region is scattered with karst hills which are tall, narrow outcroppings of limestone that have been grown over by the region’s abundant vegetation. Historically this region’s beauty was iconic in Chinese culture, which is today visited by tourists who want to get a glimpse of such preserved natural history.
The unusual terrain surrounding Yangshuo attracts a wide spectrum of outdoor enthusiasts. The steep limestone cliffs that surround the karst hills have made Yangshuo the top destination for rock climbing in China and one of the best in the world. Yangshuo is also a popular place for backpacking, mountain biking, and many other outdoor activities.
Despite its rapidly growing presence in global tourism, Yangshuo still doesn’t feel like a very urban place. It is located in such a densely packed region of overhanging cliffs and hills that it will always be comfortably confined to the size of just a town.
The rural atmosphere helps preserve the local hospitality, making Yangshuo a very helpful place for practicing Chinese. The locals have developed patience with foreigners passing through and have developed an appreciation for those who take the time to practice their language. The friendly atmosphere of Yangshuo adds constant opportunities for students to improve upon their language skills outside of the school.
The town provides many western amenities that you will typically only find in China’s larger cities. The heart of this exposure is on Yangshuo’s West street (Xijie), where there is an endless selection of western food, bars, hotels, shops, and outfitters.
