    “BLCU-Guizhou Culture Studies” Program

Step on the land of China, live in the ancient capital of Beijing, visit the wonderful Hmong village and explore the beautiful Guizhou Province: this is an extraordinary journey combining the mainstream Chinese culture with Chinese minority’s custom. We've already started and are you ready? My friends from afar? Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), known as the “mini-UN”, has opened the door of Chinese language and culture for you---to learn a language while making friends from all over the world.

You are going to enjoy the traditional operas, visit the emperors’ palaces and track down the long history of Chinese nation. With the ancient capital’s charm still lingering, you are going to explore the mysterious hinterland of China towards the southwest -- Guizhou Province. Tsingyan, known as "the home of poetry", is an interesting ancient book waiting for you to read. The one-thousand-year-old paper-making method of the Dan Village is a great legacy of "Harmony-between-Man-and-Nature" waiting for you to experience. In the blue and white Hmong Village of Miao minority, the local people there are eagerly waiting for you to join them to dance and sing. So pack up and let's go!

 This BLCU-Guizhou Culture Studies program is open for all foreign students who are interested in Chinese language, Chinese culture and ethnic minorities' traditions and customs. The courses are composed of two sections, two weeks in Beijing and two weeks in Guizhou. In Beijing, members of this program will learn Chinese language in BLCU while discovering the diversified cultures with both local students and international students from over 160 countries and regions worldwide. In Guizhou, the College of Humanities and Science of Guizhou Minzu University will combine bilingual lectures with local cultural experiences and provide the "seeing before remembering, practicing before understanding" hands-on courses for all members of this class.
