Chengdu, China

This study abroad was amazing. Chengdu is a great location to be in. There are areas where you can see old Chinese culture as well as modern Chinese development. There are so many places to see. I recommend taking advantage and trying to go somewhere new every weekend. It is so easy to do. Chengdu is filled with lots of great food, tea places, and neat neighborhoods. Don't be afraid to go out, Chengdu is a very safe city. If you are trying to build your language skills it may be a little difficult talking with older people because of their dialect. However, you can easily find people to practice Chinese with, especially with college students. There are many opportunities to find a language partner. I suggest getting a language partner because they also teach you a lot of culture.
