PRC Study also realizes that an added advantage in learning Putonghua quickly and effectively is to get deep into the Chinese's rich and colourful culture and society. As such, PRC Study organizes free social and cultural activities, such as karaoke sing-along, mah-jiang night, bowling happy hour, Peking Duck feast, Peking Opera extravaganza, and the likes, throughout your stay to help you apply what you have learnt in class in out-of-class settings.

In addition, PRC Study will arrange guided tours to visit historical landmarks like: The Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and other famous attractions. All t hese activities will also allow you to get better acquainted with fellow students, as well as with local natives in Beijing. Admission, transportation and English guides are provided at no extra cost.

From time to time, PRC Study will organize weekend excursions to further broaden students' knowledge of China and create an even more memorable experience. Such excursions could include places like Shanghai, Shaolin Temple, Tianjin, Datong, Xian, Wuhan, Inner Mongolia, etc.

Though weekend excursions are not included in the program fees, the cost for participation is quite low. For instance, a day trip to Tianjin costs about US$25 per person. It can cost as low as US$150 to $300 for an all-inclusive three-day weekend or a week tour package to other cities in China, with train tickets, hotel, meals, admission to major attractions, English speaking guides, and bus transportation all covered.
