A trip to China provides a transformative learning experience, allowing students to dive deep into one of the world’s oldest cultures, learn Mandarin in authentic settings, and witness the modern advancements of an emerging global powerhouse.

At Hainan Mandarin Academy, we offer a wide range of school trips, educational tours, and cultural courses designed specifically for young learners, ages 5 to 18 and beyond. Our mission is to provide a fully immersive, safe, and highly educational experience for students, where they can absorb Chinese culture, language, and history in a hands-on way that’s hard to replicate in a traditional classroom setting.

Why Choose Hainan Mandarin Academy
for Your School or Group Trip?

Hainan is a hidden gem in China. Choosing Hainan as a destination for educational trips is an opportunity for students to explore an idyllic tropical island, with a rich historical background and diverse natural landscapes: tropical beaches, volcanoes, and vibrant cultural experiences.

Our academy, located in the capital city of Haikou, provides the perfect environment for immersive Chinese language learning combined with engaging cultural activities through our educational field trips.

Our programs are built around the concept of experiential learning, meaning that students are not just learning from books but are experiencing Chinese culture through every sense, from tasting local food to exploring historic temples.

Here’s why your school or group should choose us:

Flexible Exploration Time

In addition to structured learning, students have free time to enjoy Hainan’s beautiful beaches, vibrant markets, and city attractions. Whether they prefer relaxing by the ocean or exploring the local culture, there’s plenty to do in Hainan.

We understand that each school and group may have unique requirements, so we design our tours to suit specific educational goals. Schools can customize their trip itineraries to include various elements such as language lessons, historical site visits, hands-on workshops, and interaction with local students.

Every educational tour with us includes practical Mandarin language classes led by professional, native-speaking teachers. Students will quickly pick up essential vocabulary and phrases, which they can then use when exploring local markets, speaking with guides, and navigating cultural activities.

Language acquisition is one of the primary goals of our tours. Our Mandarin language sessions are engaging and interactive, tailored to the students’ proficiency levels, from beginner to advanced. Teachers emphasize practical vocabulary and real-world communication, ensuring students feel comfortable using Mandarin in daily interactions. The language classes also include fun role-playing and cultural discussions to build students’ conversational confidence.

One of the standout features of our programs is the hands-on cultural workshops. Students have the opportunity to participate in traditional Chinese crafts like paper-cutting, lantern making, or clay modeling. They also learn skills in ancient arts such as brush painting and calligraphy, allowing them to express their creativity while mastering new techniques. Each cultural activity is chosen to be both educational and enjoyable, leaving students with tangible mementos and skills they can carry with them.

Our educational tours are designed for students as young as 5, with age-appropriate activities and experiences to ensure younger participants are fully engaged and comfortable. Older students can dive into more complex topics like Chinese history, societal changes, and cultural nuances that have shaped modern China.

We believe that some of the most profound learning happens through human interaction. Our programs often include “school visit” days, where students have the chance to meet and learn alongside local Chinese students. This peer-to-peer exchange fosters cross-cultural friendships, allowing students to gain insight into the lives of young people in China. It’s not uncommon for students to leave these exchanges with pen pals, creating lifelong memories and friendships.

Hainan Island itself is known for its scenic beaches, lush rainforests, and abundant wildlife. Our educational tours include eco-tourism activities like rainforest hikes, beachside explorations, and even visits to local wildlife sanctuaries. These experiences not only encourage students to appreciate the natural beauty of China but also teach them about environmental conservation efforts within the country.
