From Parker, CO. to Xinjin, China
In the summer of 2018, I was given the chance by the Mandarin Chinese program at Legend High School to travel and study abroad in China. The overall trip was a month long, and took up a great majority of my summer break--but I wouldn't have traded it for the world. We specifically traveled to Xinjin, which is located in Sichuan Province, and then visited other cities like Chengdu, Xi'an, and Beijing. Of course, I stayed with a host family while studying in the city of Xinjin, and being able to take part in their everyday life gave me a glimpse into what modern Chinese culture is like, and had the chance to continue on bettering my Chinese fluency skills.
