Manhattan Mandarin Travel
Spring Break 2019
High School Excursion
March 16 - March 28, 2019
On March 16th, 2019 a group of intrepid students set out on the first Spring Break Excursion. Forgoing the rest and relaxation of a Southern beach or the familiarity of the same ski slopes our students chose the strenuous life of a whirlwind trip through 5 Chinese cities in 12 days, all while drastically improving their Mandarin.
Beijing - 北京
In Beijing we clambered up The Great Wall, met government officials and kung fu masters, shot sling shots into Hou Hai (who knew this was a Old Beijing tradition?), breezed through Tian'an Men and The Forbidden City, climbed Gu Lou (Drum Tower) and observed Beijing's glory on a pollution-less day, chowed on Beijing duck, Mr. Shi's Dumplings and jianbing.
