Key Information for Your Winter Camp

Absolutely! We encourage you to take advantage of your time in China. You can join our weekend trips to explore more of Jingdezhen, and during vacations like Chinese New Year or long weekends, you have the opportunity to visit other parts of China. To save money, we recommend optional city tours to Hangzhou and Shanghai, as Jingdezhen is located along the travel route in eastern China.

Christmas isn't an official holiday in China, so we do have lessons. However, you are welcome to China whenever you wish.

Living costs in smaller cities like Jingdezhen are incredibly affordable. Daily expenses for housing in Jingdezhen are minimal. While larger cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou are comparatively more expensive, they are still more affordable than many other major cities around the world. Generally speaking, shopping prices stay at the same level in China, but housing costs can be high in big cities.

Achieving fluency in Chinese is possible but requires effort, dedication, and a strong desire to learn. Simply taking a one or two-week Chinese course does not guarantee fluency. You will need to actively engage, converse, possibly stay in a homestay, study diligently, make friends, and fully immerse yourself in the language.
