China is a thriving cultural hub now. The people are among the most welcoming in the world and the landscapes extremely
varied: From the countryside to the cities, there really is something here to inspire everyone.
Whilst you are a Network ESL, ESL teacher in China, there are a variety of things you can do to make your stay as authentic
as possible.
Culinary Delights:
Chinese people love good food and good company. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you find yourself being invited to dine with
locals you may meet.
If you are dining out, don’t be afraid to ask local people where they would recommend.
Staple foods are varied, with the most popular ‘eight cuisines’ being developed over hundreds of years depending on location,
lifestyle and climate, but there will inevitably be lots of cleansing flavoured teas to wash your meal down
Stay In A Temple:
Chinese people are well known for their quiet, calm approach to life. The art of meditation is widely practiced here, and there
are various temples that are happy to welcome visitors for a few nights.
Simple but comfortable accommodation and good vegetarian food are perfect to revive a tired body and mind.
Talk Like A Local:
Of course, all of the above sounds well and good, but in order to achieve it you will inevitably need some language skills.

a wide variety of courses that fuse learning and leisure to fit around your itinerary.
