Weekend study tours take you to different local places where you can use the language you learned in class and compare the local people's lives with those of Beijing residents. You can also visit local families and schools, chat with people to find out about their lives, and much more.

For Daily Connection, the tour site is Shidu, two hours drive to the south west of Beijing, where beautiful mountains are covered with green and many-coloredtrees, and streams run all year round. Shidu is also one of China's most famous places for stone craft ware.

The Summer Resorts in Chengde (Bishu Shanzhuang), one of China's four great Imperial gardens, has been chosen as the tour site for Daily Competence. Emperors of the Qing Dynasty usually went to Bishu Shanzhuang to flee the heat of Beijing and hunt in the grasslands, and many legends about Emperor Qianlong originate there. Many Buddhist and Taoist temples and towers also surround the city, which is a three- to four-hour drive from Beijing toward the north-east.

A 90-minute train journey to Tianjin (formerly known as Tientsin) is the start of the study tour for Daily Comfort. Students will visit the old Bond Area, set up by the eight foreign powers at the beginning of the twentieth century, go shopping in the fantastic (and cheap!) antique market, and also visit Tanggu, one of the largest ports in Northern China.
