China
I saw a tip on this website about the Hutong School and was pleasantly suprised that someone else had experienced this gem of a place. I would definitely recommend you check it out!
If you intend on staying in Beijing for a few months, try learning Mandarin at the Hutong School. It is situated in a beautiful courtyard in the middle of a hutong area. They give you all sorts of support, have apartments to stay in, organise trips, it's a great way to live in Beijing!
