1. China Horizons will make and purchase all airfare reservations for the group. The cost of
the airfare is included in the volunteer program fee.
1. Will there be someone at the airport to meet me when I arrive in China?
China Horizons escorts participants to China and ensures a smooth transition to the host
school.
2. Can I travel around the country during my stay and on the weekends?
Yes. Once you are at the school, any other traveling is done independently, with the
exception of occasional trips organized by the school. Investing in a travel guide, such
as the Lonely Planet will provide you with great ideas for weekend trips and excursions. Many
teachers travel every weekend to nearby sites.
3. How will I get around if I don't know the language?
Knowledge of the Chinese language is not required for traveling around. You will find
many ways to communicate when the language barrier presents an obstacle. The school
will also be happy to assist you in arranging your bus/train tickets, reserving hotel
rooms, etc.
4. Will there be someone from the school to travel with me?
This varies on your specific school. You may have an assigned escort from the school.
Be advised that most schools are very protective of the foreign teachers. Knowing
that this is most likely your first trip to China, they will be hesitant at first to allow you to
travel anywhere without an escort. Once you have settled into the Chinese way of life, they
will become more comfortable with the idea of you traveling independently to town or even
to destinations outside your city.
