Live, Intern and Study Abroad in Xi’an

Xi’an is the capital city of Shaanxi Province, located in Chin’s northwestern region. It is one of the oldest cities in China with a history dating back more than 3000 years and is also one of the four Great Ancient Capitals of China.

Often regarded as the cradle of Chinese civilization, Xi’an’s history has seen many dynasties; it is the home of the terracotta army of Emperor Qin during the Qin Dynasty. More importantly, Xi’an is the starting point of the Silk Road, which was a crucial passage linking China to the West. Given the city’s place in China’s history, it is fitting that Xi’an is home to some of the country’s most important historical sites as well as a number of cultural and religious relics.

Since the early nineties, as part of China’s economic effort to boost the economy of the country’s interior regions, Xi’an has re-emerged as a cultural and industrial city which is profoundly influenced by education. The city holds great importance in the northwestern region. Xi’an is home to many excellent universities. The city’s important industries include manufacturing, tourism and service outsourcing, making it a good option for our Asia internship programme. Xi’an has been reported to be on the list of the 13 emerging megacities in China.

Xi’an welcomes tourists, business people, artists, and scholars wishing to study in China; there is something for everyone!

Go Abroad China (GAC) offers a variety of programs in Xi’an, allowing you to come and experience the cultural history of Xi’an while you complete an internship, learn Chinese, Volunteer and more. Our different programs run from a couple of weeks through to a full year. We can arrange anything for you right here in Xi’an, whether you plan to come and study or take an internship (or both).

If you are interested in studying Chinese, we offer a range of options from university programs, high school programs, and small group programs to personalized one-on-one tutoring. We offer three accommodation options for you while you are studying here, however, for maximum culture exposure and accelerated Chinese language learning, we encourage you to stay with a Chinese host family as this allows you to live the language as you learn it.

Feedback on our Intensive Chinese Courses has been that many of our participants have spent several years studying Chinese with little progress, and they found it very difficult to learn without a real Chinese environment. Once here, that changed! Why don’t you come to China to learn Chinese the easy way?
