"It was such a nice experience in Shanghai, all the people there are very friendly and the food is absolutely amazing!! The accommodation was very comfortable as well and the classes are fun. It’s incredible I made such good friends within two weeks. Everything about the trip was amazing apart from the last day- the day you say bye to all your friends.”

"Before I began my stay with Hutong School, my parents were both pretty apprehensive. They were worried that I would have a difficult time adjusting and adapting to this culturally immersive experience. However, after a bit of discussion, they both agreed to let me go, and let me just say this has been hands down one of the best programs I’ve ever been to. My group was relatively small, but my roommate and I had an amazing time exploring Beijing with our guide. Whether it was through the eccentric restaurants she brought us to or the amazing historical sites we visited, Hope truly made this trip one for the scrapbooks. Thank you Hutong! I’ll definitely be back soon!"
