Spring 2012 Program Schedule

The 52th program is from Feb.3-7
The 53th program is from Feb. 10-14
We recommend you to arrive 2 days before each program's starting date, that way you will have sufficient time to finish all necessary registration with us, pay any bill if needed and get over the jetlag. Please don¨t arrive during Jan. 23-30th as our office will be closed for the spring festival.

You will stay in Yangshuo 7-15 days before leaving for your host school. During this time, as well as giving you basic training and orientation, sightseeing, upgrading your visa, we also make sure that you have a chance to rest and recuperate from your travel to China.

On meals and accommodations during your staying in Yangshuo (7-15 days), you can either take care of arranging your own meals and accommodations, or you have the choice to eat at Buckland¨s cafeteria for 20 rmb/day (about 3 American dollars for 3 meals, Chinese style mainly) and stay at Buckland¨s hotel for 30rmb/night/person for double bed or three bed rooms or 50rmb/ night for single bed rooms (standard hotel room, internet access, private bathroom).
