Ningbo, a famous foreign trade port, has a very long history. 7,000 years ago the people of Ningbo had made the glorious "Hemudu Culture" in this land and begun to develop towards the sea. Ningbo was a part of the Yue State during the Spring & Autumn Period, whereas a part of Huiji Shire during the Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, which consisted of four counties including Yin, Mao, Juzhang and Yuyao. The trading, shipbuilding and ocean shipping were rather flourishing at that time in Ningbo. In the early stage of the Ming Dynasty, Ningbo was granted as the Mingzhou Prefecture, but in 1381, the 14th year of Emperor Hongwu's reign, it was changed into Ningbo Prefecture, which is still in use today. Ning in Chinese means peace and Bo refer to the wave; thus, Ningbo actually implies when the ocean is calm, and the wave is gentle. During the Tang Dynasty, Ningbo was the center that manufactured the Tang ships and celadon china of the Yue Kiln and did business very frequently with foreign countries. It was granted altogether with Guangzhou, Yangzhou and Quanzhou the title the Four Largest Foreign Trade Ports of China, which composed the "Silk and China Road on the Sea" at that time. In 1840s, according to the "Five Ports Trade Treaty" which was signed with the western imperialist powers, Ningbo was forced to build a trading port, which was put into use in 1844. * Introduction to Zhoushan:
East Zhejiang is typical south China area of water, crisscrossed with rivers and dotted with lakes. The Zhoushan Islands are noted for their spectacular beauty of hills and the sea. People, who have their dwellings built by the water and bridges constructed with stone, maintain a unique way of life.

(Apart from the application form, we prefer documents to be sent to us via email attachments for easy forwarding) When we designed this program, we designed it to be a two-part program. The teaching is Part I. You can finish Part I (teaching) and leave OR you can choose to participate in Part II (tour). Part II is traveling and sightseeing around China for a varied number of days depending on which travel plan you choose (ranging from 10-15 days). You are also welcome to take the tour without participating in any teaching. This is a very flexible program. We added Part II under the request of many applicants we've had in the past. They felt it was convenient for them to teach for about a month and then travel all over China for another 10 days or so. This leaves options open for everyone. The tourist company we work with is one of the best in the country through WSIEA. They're offering the lowest prices for 4-star hotels, excellent tour English-speaking local and national tour guides, and much more! For details, please contact us!
