This trip is specially designed for American high school students with a mission to promote cultural exchange, charity and tourism. During their ten day visit, the students will gain an overall understanding of China in contrasted perspectives: historical and modern, luxurious and modest. Participants bond with BNVS students in classrooms and dorm rooms, through group interactions, travel and classroom curriculum. Excursions include not only world-famous historical sites: the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City; but also the top-notch Chinese modern art palace: Beijing 798 Art Zone. In addition to the modern cosmopolitan Beijing, visitors will also experience the traditional Beijing through Hutong and Courtyard (Siheyuan) and local Beijing folks. To top it off, this trip will provide participants with rare opportunities to get direct exposure to the culture and lifestyle of Chinese minorities. Need one parent chaperon for the group. Chaperons trip cost will be provided by the organizer. There will be volunteer translators.
