Yangshuo has it all: stunning scenery and Omeida language academy. I loved my three weeks here and wish I could extend my trip. My teacher created classes that were fun, engaging and had the right amount of rigor. (I loved our class field trips and outings together). Outside of class, the community in Omeida is so welcoming and friendly. I especially loved my time volunteering through 1:1s to meet students learning English and adventuring around with my language partner and new friends. Studying at Omeida in Yangshuo was an incredibly rewarding experience and I would loved to return.

I was looking for a Chinese language school in China, and Omeida turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made.
From the moment I arrived in Yangshuo, I was amazed by how beautiful the town is. Surrounded by incredible mountains and breathtaking landscapes, it feels like a place straight out of a painting.
What makes Omeida special is not only the quality of the Chinese classes, but also the people. The staff is incredibly friendly, supportive, and genuinely cares about your experience. They organize trips, cultural activities, and events that allow you to learn more about China while meeting people from all around the world.
One of my favorite parts of Omeida was the community. You'll meet international students from many different countries, as well as Chinese students learning English. It's a great environment for making friends, exchanging cultures, and practicing languages every day.
I came to China to learn Chinese, but I left with much more than that: unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a much deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
I would highly recommend Omeida to anyone who wants to study Chinese in China. In fact, I'm already thinking about coming back in the future!
Thank you, Omeida, for such an amazing experience :)

I think this is experience changed my life. Everything was well organised and all the people were amazing, including teachers, people in the office, Chinese & foreigner students, Ana & her mom from the coffee shop! I didnt only study Chinese here, I also got immersed in the culture and Omeida provides a lot of cultural activities like taichi, painting, caligraphy, art classes, etc. And the Guanxi people are so welcoming. It felt like home. There is no other school like this in China. Really grateful!

I found Omeida researching Online, and applied for a two-week program beginning on March 10th, 2026. From the start it was a very intense intermediate regular course, so I could apply my Chinese knowledge in daily life. My placement was perfect. Teachers, staff and colleagues were very nice and helpful. I made many friends there. Environment is very cozy and friendly. Yangshuo is a beautiful little town, and we had many opportunities to appreciate the surroundings. I definitely recommend it to anyone serious about learning Chinese in an immersive environment. I look forward to going again, maybe for a longer period of intensive study.

Great school to learn Chinese, Chinese culture and lifestyle. Staff was very friendly, always ready to help and support in everything. I had an wonderful time in Omeida Academy School at Yangshou.

Every weekend their had different activities, that everybody could enjoy. I went to some of them and i had so much fun. I loved to go to the picking tea, raft in the river, and have cooking classes where I learned how to cook some Chinese dishes. My Chinese partner helped me alot and my Chinese teacher was so good and I learned and improved my Chinese. I will return for sure!

Fui a Omeida porque quería por primera vez experimentar el estudiar el idioma del país que visitaba. Y fue una experiencia increíble! Ame la escuela, las clases dinamicas, sus actividades (tienen muchas), que conoces gente de varias partes del mundo y que te ayudan con absolutamente todas tu dudas.
Ame la pequeña ciudad, es hermosa, tranquila. El rio esta a solo 10 min en scooter. La comida es deliciosa! Mucha variedad, tambien encuentras fruta de todo tipo.
De mis mejores viajes. De verdad espero volver!

The month I spent in Yangshuo and as a student at Omeida will forever stay in my heart. I can really say that I lived one of the most healing, self-caring and fun times of my life so far. It was amazing to realize that I am not the only language nerd who will happily spend time doing Chinese class homework and enjoy it. The staff at Omeida, the teachers and the students make the place as magical as it is, a picturesque dream. The staff is so lovely, thank you Lucy for all the great weekend activities and being our helpful good fairy for any possible questions, thank you Rachel for guiding me so well from the registration to the visa and the arrival, thank you to Anya for organizing so many extracurricular student group trips! Thank you Echo laoshi, you were an amazing teacher with a rich toolbox of methods.. you kept us engaged, curious and even adjusted your teaching to the different levels of individual students. I am grateful that I chose to do this experience and can even confidently say that my Chinese improved quite a lot! :) If you're looking to escape your daily routine at home, your job or just want to mix language learning, meeting new friends and exploring the beautiful nature around Yangshuo, this is the right choice for sure!

I had a wonderful week studying Chinese in Yangshuo. The staff at the language school were super helpful and did everything possible to support the students, for example arranging accommodation and transport, and setting me up with a language partner. The teachers were friendly and patient and able to answer any questions. The lessons were pitched at an appropriate level of challenge and I was able to practise my Chinese. I would recommend the course for both solo travellers and for those travelling in a group. As soon as I have another opportunity, I will be returning to Yangshuo and studying English there again.
