DISCOVER CHINA THROUGH A CULTURAL EXCHANGE SERVICE ADVENTURE!
China's rich cultural history is matched only by the grandeur and contrasts of its landscape. In Beijing you will find the stunning modern architecture of the 2008 Summer Olympics only miles from the ancient Forbidden City, once the exclusive home of China's emperors. This bustling urban landscape strikes a stark contrast with the serene hills of southwest China's tranquil villages nestled among lush, steep mountains. Regardless of these differences in geography and environment, the people of China share a long history full of conflict and accomplishment. You will explore cultural sites and get to know the locals while participating in meaningful service projects in this summer travel program of a lifetime!
