Gap Year in China
There has never been a better time to take a gap year in China. After years of international isolation it is now open to foreign visitors and offers a truly unique gap year travel experience. The sheer size of the country means that it is both a challenging and rewarding place to travel during your gap year, whilst China’s fascinating mix of cultures means that you’ll never be short of places to go or things to do on your gap year in China.
If you want to get involved with volunteering during your gap year in China, we can help. We’ve been sending people out to volunteer in China for years and have built up great relationships with gap year projects across the country. A few of most popular gap year projects include panda conservation in the Shaanxi reserves, teaching English in Beijing and working with special needs children in the ancient city of Xi’an.
Take a look at the projects we offer for gap years in China and resources below to find out more about volunteering during your China gap year, or visit our China Travel and China volunteer sections.
