China Immersed · Museum-based cultural journeys
Experience China
beyond sightseeing.
Go beyond sightseeing with hands-on cultural workshops, local experiences, historic landmarks, regional cuisine and a memorable visit with giant pandas—all through a program created by the Hunan Song Dan Chinese Character Art Museum.
A different kind of journey
More than a tour. A deeper way to experience China.
Learn alongside museum educators, artists and local guides. Practice everyday Mandarin, create traditional Chinese art, explore historic sites and discover Hunan through its people, food and daily life.
You will return home with more than photographs—you will leave with new skills, meaningful connections and a richer understanding of China.
