Our programs are

CRCC Asia offers internships,

language programs and business

& nance courses in four uniquely

distinct and exciting locations.

Our programs areavailable in a variety ofexciting locations from

the busy metropolis

of Shanghai andBeijing, to the vibrantcity of Shenzhen,

to the tropicalbeaches of Hainan.


21/32

Shanghai

Shanghai epitomizes East meets West as China’s most international and

cutting-edge city. The city symbolizes modern China, leading the way in

fashion, ne dining and trendy bars and clubs. Its distinctive architecture

and atmosphere mixes modern day icons with the quaint and historic

streets of the French Concession and old Shanghai. Stroll along the

waterfront at the Bund or visit the famous ower, bird and insect markets

and watch old men taking their caged birds for a walk.

BeijingBeijing is China’s capital city and is rich in culture, history and tradition. It

has been China’s center of art, culture and politics for centuries. You can

take a walk through the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, have a

reective moment at the Temple of Heaven, visit the ultra-modern Sanlitun

shopping village, or go on a day trip to one of the seven wonders of the

world; the Great Wall.

Sanya

Sanya is located in Hainan, a tropical island often referred to as “China’s

Hawaii”. Feeding directly off China’s booming economy, as one of the

country’s least populated provinces, it now sees about 80% of its income

washed ashore by tourism. Discover China’s best beaches, explore the

central highlands, thick canopies of forest, and visit the Li and Miao

minority hill tribe villages.

Shenzhen

Shenzhen is a major city in the south of China, and only a 45 minute train

journey to Hong Kong. The area became China’s rst, and one of the most

successful, Special Economic Zones. The bustling, vibrant city is not only

home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but also the headquarters ofnumerous high-tech and nance companies from around the world. Enjoy

the sub-tropical climate of Shenzhen whilst visiting the cities excellent

theme parks.
