Summer Exploration Program in Lanzhou University

Introduction
The Summer Exploration in North-western China is a specially-designed program offering a unique life experience for those interested in the brilliant ancient Chinese culture and history as well as the enormous changes taken place in the Chinese society. The program integrates both on-campus Chinese language learning with field trips to the sites along the world-famous Silk Road. Participants will have opportunity to get access to the great landscapes and cultural resources of the various ethnic groups in the Gansu Province. 
Unlike those typically knowledge-based courses in the summer programs held in larger and more modern cities, The Summer Exploration in North-western China provides more opportunities to access the some-what mysterious Chinese language and to obtain a better understanding of Chinese culture by witnessing the unique cultural aspects of genuinely living in China.
