Project Locations:

Volunteer teaching is available in Xi'an (City Wall, Blue Dragon, Palace, Lotus Palace), Zibo ("Silk Road", famous passageway in China's history for economic and cultural exchange between East and West), Weifang (regards itself as the 'International Kite Capital'), Binzhou (Shengli Oil Field, the second-largest oil field in the People's Republic of China) and Hangzhou (renowned for its historic relics and natural beauty like Lingyin Temple), and many other part of China. Famously known as the “Middle kingdom”, China is full of distinction from traditional culture and architecture of a long line of rulers to the modern urban infrastructure infused with imperial China traditionalism; still, there exists many of the amenities you would expect from a city. The influence of American urban form and social values in manifest in the creation of many of China’s cities.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: caves, ancient and modern royal palaces, markets, Chinese dragon boat racing, Mongolian wrestling, festivals, architecture, temples, art, restaurants, beaches, hotels, and many more.
