China Primary School Trip
Safe, fun and genuinely educational. The trip your students will talk about for the rest of their school years.
China works remarkably well for primary school students — younger children are more open, more curious and often better travellers than their older counterparts. Our primary programmes are experience-led: making dumplings, seeing giant pandas, riding the Great Wall toboggan, learning to write their names in Chinese characters. Every activity is age-appropriate, supervised and designed to generate memories that reshape how students see the world.
Giant Panda Research Base
Morning visit when pandas are most active. Structured observation worksheet for curriculum use. The most-loved activity for ages 8–11.
Great Wall Toboggan
Cable car up to Mutianyu. Supervised hike. Toboggan slide back down. Guaranteed highlight of every primary trip.
Dumpling Making Workshop
Hands-on session making jiaozi. Students eat what they make. Messy, fun and genuinely educational about Chinese food culture.

Fun, interactive session — numbers, colours, greetings and a short skit in Chinese. Students perform for each other at the end.

China Teacher CPD Program
Classroom observation. Curriculum benchmarking. School leader exchange. The most impactful CPD most teachers have ever done.
China's education system consistently outperforms Western counterparts in mathematics, science and reading at every PISA benchmark.

Choosing the Right Program
This is the right fit when…
- You represent a school, university or group of educators planning a China program.
- You want an age-appropriate, curriculum-linked design — not one-size-fits-all.
- You need safeguarding documentation, curriculum links or CPD for your group.
- You value a single experienced operator handling logistics end to end.
Likely not the right fit
- Corporate executive delegations — see our executive China Study Tour (CST)s
- Individual leisure travellers outside an institutional group
- Groups wanting pure tourism with no educational structure
What Schools Ask Us Most
"Can one operator really handle everything from primary to university?"
Yes — and that's the point. Each program is purpose-built for its age group, but all share the same foundation: safeguarding documentation, bilingual guides, curriculum links and a Beijing-based team available 24/7. With 13+ years running school programmes for 500+ groups, we match the right pacing, supervision and content to your specific group.
A few honest practicalities.
- Each program has a different minimum group size (8 teachers, 10 primary/university, 15 high school).
- School-linked visits depend on Chinese term dates; we schedule observation and exchange around them.
- Popular spring/autumn windows fill early — book 4–6 weeks ahead, longer for large groups.
- Visa requirements vary by nationality; we provide invitation letters and full guidance.
