Cultural landmarks

China is ranked first in the list of countries with the most UNESCO world heritage sites – boasting an outrageous 55 separate landmarks. The most famous is undoubtedly The Great Wall of China, which can be first traced back to the Qin dynasty in 221BC. Today, numerous sections of The Great Wall are open to the public. Badaling is arguably the most restored section – it even has a sky-lift to take people to the top – and is relatively close to Beijing. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could visit the Laolongtou region which stretches across the beach and formally marks the end of the Great Wall.

A short drive from Shanghai will take you to Xi Tang’s ancient water town, a truly serene destination which offers a unique opportunity to experience a completely different way of life. The entire town floats upon the water, with many restaurants and local stores found on boats. Xi Tang also has a touch of Hollywood glamour as it’s the destination used to film the climatic scenes of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 3.

The giant panda bear is native to Southern & Western China, Chengdu is home to the panda research base which is currently the only place in the world you can physically hold a baby panda bear! North of Chengdu is Xi’an, home to the famous Terracotta Army Museum. The sculptures were crafted and buried with the first Emperor of China between 210-209BCE, the belief was that the army would protect him in the afterlife. Remarkably the Terracotta Army wasn’t found until 1974, when two farmers stumbling across them whilst digging a water well.

Budget Friendly

Internships in China - RMB

A good time in China can be had on any budget. Beijing on average is around 45% cheaper than London and 55% cheaper than New York City. Transport (long and short haul), food, utilities, clothing, and general ticket prices are much more affordable in China than in metropolitan cities across Europe and the US.

Beijing

Beijing is a high-octane megacity where no two days are alike, making it the perfect location for an Internship Abroad.  One day you could scale The Great Wall or The Forbidden City. The next day you could take a stroll through Wangfujing market and try all the local delicacies on offer. The city has something for everyone and instantly feels like home.

Shanghai

Shanghai is glamour personified – the city oozes style and class effortlessly. From the iconic Bund waterfront to the city’s old town, via the renowned Jing’an temple – everything you could hope for (and more) is waiting here.

Shenzhen

Known as the “Silicon Valley of China”, Shenzhen has more buzz and hype than any other city in the country. Shenzhen, as a city, is essentially brand new having been built from the ground up over the last 40 years. Today, Shenzhen has a thriving arts scene, a vibrant startup culture, and prides itself on being a multicultural metropolis.
