Description: Learning Cantonese abroad in Hong Kong, China is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. China is more than a country - it is a whole different world, from shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, with deserts, sacred peaks, astounding caves, and imperial ruins in between. Along with the stark contrasts comes stark beauty; there is plenty to see if you can wade through the crowds.

Learn Cantonese Language in China:
